monkey3 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Basically some ****ing c-word tried to steal my wheels (Advan Racing 18s). Unfortunately for them, they are utter tw*ts. They have tried to turn off the centre nuts without first taking out the circlip. I've been on to a few wheel refurb companies and they canny dea it captain. What can I do? The only other thought I had was to take off the thread completely and fix it on in another way. A bonnet pin type arrangement or something.

merckx Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I'm not familiar with these wheels. If you've got the normal 5 nuts holding the wheel on, then why have they tried to undo the centre nut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jaydeeuk Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I am looking for a rear boot spoiler (TRD). The cheapest I have seen is £145 plus p&p (£60) in Hong Kong, has anyone purchased one and are they any good???? Or do you know anyone who has a cheaper one then please email me.

monkey3 Posted April 13, 2006 Author Share Posted April 13, 2006 Ok, I should have explained that a bit better. There is a cap that sits over the wheel nuts. That is held on by this big centre nut. So you have to get the centre nut off before you can get to the wheel nuts. jaydeeuk, did you miss the title of this thread? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
