I have a 2011 Mk3 Focus with dreadfully corroded alloy wheels. I’ve been offered a nice set of replacement alloys from a 2015 Mk3 Focus.

My question is, can I still use the wheel nuts from my original alloys, or will I need different ones? I seem to remember hearing somewhere that wheel nuts were changed in 2012.

Thanks.

You're correct, the later alloys will need 'global' nuts.  A 2011 will most likely still be on the old style ones.

Thanks. Does anyone have a link to show what these global nuts look like?

Global nuts have a more prominent dome on top.

 

Old style 

 

 

 

 

Perfect, very helpful. Thankyou.

My nuts are in a bag, but got them out to show you. Nut on the left old style, nuts on the right new global style

Lol, we have an item ( amongst others) in the warehouse, well it's a product called a "Shag bag" 😲

Its use is for golfers as a netted bag to put their golf balls in. 

Always brings a giggle or two when one pops up 😄
