Alloy wheel nuts

Post by **classicswede** » 15 Nov 2006 10:13 pm

I'm going to get some wheels nut made up for fitting alloy wheels.

What is the angle for the alloy nuts?

Also anyone interested in a set?

Volvo ones are about £3 each. I want to get some nice better ones made. And they will be less.

i've got quite a few alloy nuts, but unfortunately they're all on siddy and i've got no steel nuts to replace wtih.. snowey actually went to the scrapper with 12 alloy nuts on cos we couldnt find any steel ones

It is the seat pitch I need.

I was pretty sure that it was 60 deg tbh, that is the normal angle for alloy wheels.

it will be in my opinion : 60+60+30+30=180

Hooray!!! Thats the ones!! Wow Dai you're getting some made

(Mr Burns) " Exxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxcelllent!!!"

would be good for cars with hubs also as they wont rust and round off

the way its measured there its 30 but if you measure from the base of the nuts its a 60 degree seat so Dai you were right!!! lol
