jonnyboy82 Posted July 21, 2015 Share Posted July 21, 2015 Just fitted my rota grid drifts and the guy I bought them from gave me these gold wheel nuts and they have done the job but imho the look a bit chavvy and the quality is poor and they stick out so far??Which wheel nuts do you guys recommend and locking nuts too I need these ASAP!!

jonnyboy82 Posted July 22, 2015 Author Share Posted July 22, 2015 After a bit more digging around these both seem highly recomended. The first one though is it likely if overtightened the internal thread might get rounded off? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Tuner-Wheel-Nuts-x-20-12x1-25-Fit-Subaru-Impreza-WRX-STI-Legacy-Forester-/230783137359?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item35bbbf364f http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/231344553100?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambit Posted July 23, 2015 Share Posted July 23, 2015 yeah avoid aluminum. lets face it for the small amount of weight you save it's noth worth loosing a wheel. [emoji6] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonnyboy82 Posted July 24, 2015 Author Share Posted July 24, 2015 So they any good?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aucky Posted July 24, 2015 Share Posted July 24, 2015 yeah mate,I will say though dont use a air gun to tighten them up,i use a tourge wrench and tighten to 80lb,dont let garage airgun them on as they have their guns set on full so can use them on everything and allways over tighten wheel nuts.I like these lug nuts as they dont stick out very far and they are thinner then standed scooby nut which dont fit lots of aftermarket rims,i got these to fit my bk racing eclipse wheels which have small holes.

MikeEcho Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 So, to completely hijack this thread, will the stock nuts not work with rota wheels then? Just bought some and was planning on using the ones I had! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ANT Posted July 26, 2015 Share Posted July 26, 2015 Nah the standard nut dont fit with rotas well mine didnt anyway Sent from my SM-N910F using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonnyboy82 Posted July 26, 2015 Author Share Posted July 26, 2015 I think you can get them to fit if you have a really slim width socket. I opted to buy a new set for both security and looks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
