Converting studs to centre lock wheels
russbost - 21/6/10 at 03:14 PM

I seem to remember seeing adverts for converters to change stud mounted wheels to single nut fixing centre locks? Done some Googling but can't find anything - any ideas anyone. Also what's general availability of centre lock wheels - I assume they are stupidly expensive?

Vintage Wheels and Triggo wheels in the US do them. But they ain't cheap.

Image wheels was devoloping their own centerlock IIRC, but I never seen it. Try calling them.

sure i read of a guy that fitted ex-touring car centre locking wheels to his road going tricked out RS500 Cosworth and having issues with either the MOT or the Rozzers? could have dreamt it though...

ask Scootz I think he's looked into some of the options for one of his projects (and he had some a centre lock wheels for sale while back)
