wheel nuts
jjsaul:
Alloy wheel nuts AFAIK have the 'shaft' within the wheel...steel nuts dont.
I want a set of locking nuts for my alloys but apparently no one makes them to fit (i asked the bloke at the compomotive place)
Can i use a set of steel wheel locking nuts, which dont have the shafts, just a taper on the face of the alloy?
Obviously i've still got 4 'proper' nuts per wheel holding it on....
clbarclay:
I don't know who made them but obviously someone makes locking wheelnuts for alloys cos 2 came on my V8 rangie with no removal key :x .

they make them for standard LR/RRC alloys but not for the alloys ive got (aftermarket dragon alloys)
tomarse:
There was an engineering company somewhere in this area IIRC who made custom wheel nuts. They had a small stand at the last billing I went to (2004 i think) and my mate bought some off them for some strange alloys he had just bought. I did have their card but i cant find it now.
Edge:
Halfrauds do all sorts of sizes of alloy locking nuts. Just make sure you speak to the guy from the wheel department and not the manager :roll: (managers are renowned for knowing jack all when it comes to their own halfords products).
I would strongly recommend you dont use steel nuts on alloy wheels
