Wheel Nuts
For fitting my alloy wheels I have been advised that I should use "special" nuts. They have got rotating sleeves so when you tighten them
up, they don't scratch your wheels.
Thing is, they cost £4 each not much, but when you multiply that by 16 it seams a bit expensive for wheel nuts!
Do people think these are needed, and if so where can I get them from for less than £4 each (ford dealer price).
Lolocost used to do them, but have discontinued them....

What kind of alloys are they?
RS or Laser alloys use a special type that are about a quid each from Rally Design and others

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I got wheel nuts and studs from Trackstore. Quick service and the wheel nuts all cost about £1.50 each.

The avarage sierra ghia in any scrap yard has 16 fitted as standard, probably free if your ovaries have deep pockets
