JohnK Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Im in need of some wheel nuts to suit volk racing wheels, I assume they are all the same, if not i will supply more details when I have them. I do have some wheel nuts (not enough, lost some ) that fit, they are 19mm across flats but this leaves very little room for a socket, even my small 3/8" drive one, is there a special socket?

Big Ads Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?t=90324 I got a set of these, very light. Seem good quality. And you dont have to worry about your socket set damaging your wheel, as its requires a 12mm Allen Key Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted April 5, 2007 Author Share Posted April 5, 2007 I work with alloy day in day out and I just dont trust it for wheel nuts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mas Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 the best set of wheel and lock nuts available in the market right now is the new extended RAYS ones , I bought a set for £100 and they are fantastic, How many do you need by the way, do you need all the 20 nuts or just 16(if you have locking nuts already)?

tbourner Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 The shiny ones I got with my Volks were poo, really soft and ended up replacing a sheared hub bolt because of them (or was it because the last person to touch it was MaxGT? ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

juanchan Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Well, at least your considering spending your own money instead of mine, for a change! Just keep up the overtime mate, you'll soon cover the cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me know if you up for that, I have 16 rays nuts already but need 4 locking nuts for them now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Unfortunately I need all 20, thanks for the offer though. Doing my clutch today, i'll see how that goes and if I need to spend any more than expected doing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
