Hi

Anyone got 20 of these, happy with used ones as new cost £110!!

Dont want to mess about changing studs if I can help it.

Thanks

Ian
 
ooh he wants lots of info, off to find micrometer to measure stud hole size, 'flange' size, depth of stud hole etc..............

or does anyone have those dimensions to hand for these wheels?

He sorted me out OK.

My wheels are SD1 Vitesse, and he supplied:-
"In that case they will be #5001, 7/16" x 20 unf, dome top medium (length) mag sleeve nuts @ £2.00 each (inc washer) plus P & P. See website for full details & dimensions"

Be aware that on the web site, when he lists "steel" nuts and "alloy" nuts, he is referring to the wheel, not the nuts!

Jim.

I wish I knew about this chap when I fitted mine, I had all sorts of problems :(

I just waltzed into Supercheap Auto yesterday and bought 7/16 mag nuts off the rack. Fitted perfectly.
 
Are they chrome and what length are they Warren ? What was the damage ? Did you leave any in the shop for the rest of us !!
 
Yes, chrome. Forget the length, but it was just right for the Series 1 mags with the washer applied. $21 per wheel, so about $4 per lug. I don't know how that stacks up but it seemed OK to me, and they were there. Saved me a lot of frigging about.
 
They've got 7/16 x 15 stamped on the side, Gerald. Coming from Supercheap they're probably only passable quality, but they look the part and they'll do, at least for now.
 
I got some from Repco years ago and the chrome started to flake off when the wheel brace bit into them , so was looking to replace those mankie ones .
Probably from the same chinese back street factory that SuperCheap use . At that price I'll give a few a go as see what "appens .
 
Here's a bargain for the Kiwi Xmas shopper into auto shops , instead of watching birds at the beach .
Ive just picked up some 7/16 x 35mm chrome stud nuts from Supercheap auto . 5 in a pack. nz$22 less disc of 25% . The store I was in had nuts for steel and alloy wheels .
They look very smart . You will need 4 x packs -LOL
Actually , truth be told , I just wanted to show off my Rozzies .
Thanks to Warren for the headz"up

Warren I purchased mine from super cheap also and have found 2 things 1. Mine have shown signs of rust ringing 2. They required 2 washers to properly tighten to the mag.

Good stuff, Gerald. Graeme, I'm quite certain that mine will suffer the same fate, but I was in a hurry and they were all I could find. If they last a handful of years I'll be happy, and I can take my time to source some better quality ones.
 
I drag this old thread out again since i have purchased the wheelnuts described here to use with the vitesse wheels and using the original p6 studs. The threads are fine, but i think the nuts are a bit thin, so there is more space between the wheel hole and the nut than expected (appr 2 mm). Has anyone experienced any problems using these nuts?
