Got wheels, but do I need new nuts?

Postby MrT » 10 Mar 2009 17:49

Just scored a bargain sat of 4 MGTF 'Minilite' style wheels on eBay; one of them (rear) has a very slight buckle to the rim, but they're otherwise in really nice condition with just the odd minor mark here and there, and the tyres (budgets) are all good too [8D]

But, can I use my original nuts (factory alloys), or do I need others?

Yes you need new nuts[:D]

Any of the specialists like S&S or Robsport can supply.
