dLockers Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 No, get proper alloy wheel nuts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_60 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 Hi I think it has something to do with the fact that steel is harder than aluminium alloy. The Steel Wheel nuts will crush the alloy or seriously damage it. The alloy wheel nuts spread the load better and sometimes have washers on (cannot think of a way to describe that better) If iam incorrect about the above for safety reasons please edit it out moderators.

Jamie The steal wheel nuts are completely the wrong shape and will damage the wheel as well as not hold the load correctly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
