Wheel Nuts

Postby Massimo » Wed Oct 10, 2007 8:04 pm

Hi guys,
can anybody tell me if a standard alloy wheel can be fitted with the steel wheel nuts? they are different cause the alloys ones are flat on the side where they fix the wheel...steel wheel nuts are kind of conic on that side.
Will they do the trick until i get five missing nuts? :?:

Wouldn't recommend that you fit flat ended buts into a conical rim or vice versa. They're not exactly hard to get hold of - most motor stores should have them.
