looks like theyve got a crazy spacer or summat screwed on?
would that be integral to the wheel?
sorry adam, edit*
the lad i got them off didnt know the offset so I bought them and hoped.
were too cheap to knock back tbh.

Yeh you want sleeved nuts mate same design as revolution wheel nuts, thread is 12 x 1.25mm make sure they get washers with them. And the outer diameter of the sleeve fits within the bolt holes, i'm guessing the holes in the wheels are around 20mm if so its definately sleeved nuts.
