alloy wheel nuts????

[Simonh]

i bought 15 inch almera gti wheels a while ago and i got some new tyres today and the guy was going to fit them for me. but he says that i need different nuts because he says the standard micra nuts will dig into the alloy and eventually go through the wheel making it fall off? what should i do? ring nissan?

I got a full set of alloy nuts for free from a scrapyard, try there first, then ebay

thanks

just bough the chrome ones. should have my alloys on by the weekend

the chrome almera nuts are the same as the chrome micra nuts...

 

[Simonh]

nice one squarepants. so my alloys should fit ok with these new nuts?

if there nissan alloys they should have the steel inserts in the holes which means you dont need to change the nuts ( another Nissan money saving plan)

The chrome ones are pretty much the same as iv got

Hi there, just joined through FB. I'm having the same problem as the original thread. Difference is I'm going from 14" steel wheels to 15" alloys, they are aftermarket multi spoke alloys made by fox.

I've found these nuts and wondered if these would fit? If so is there anywhere cheaper that anybody knows of?
