use the correct wheel bolts.

bolts when remounting the original wheel
after it has been repaired.

To prevent damage to the paintwork, hold the wheel securely against the wheel hub while screwing in the first wheel bolt.
Place the emergency spare wheel on the
wheel hub and push it on.
Tighten the wheel bolts until they are
finger-tight.
