wheel nuts

[RudeDogg1]

After getting a puncher yesturday and having to take my wheel off i remembered how bloody soft the standard nuts and the spanner is. I remember someone saying about better harder ones for an upgrade. What were they, where can i get some and are they a straight swap?

mazda ones fit, same thread and never come off mine but think the taper may be slightely different bit as i said never had slackening problems in over a year, but they are 21mm, id look at honda wheels nuts if you are buying some, they are 19mm, and solid, i just put mazda ones on cuz i got em for nothing.

[RudeDogg1]

cool any idea where i can get some honda ones?

[Ritchy]

[RudeDogg1]

Get yourself a decent breaker bar and a hex 19mm socket that way you will get them off.

Ive never had trouble rounding them off. Obviously been done up way to tight. Its a misconception people think wheel nuts have to be done up super tight otherwise your wheels will fall off. They dont.

Get yourself a tourqe wrench and set them to the proper torque.

[Ritchy]

also caused by garages buzzing them off n not being on the nut properly:( the caps are a bad idea tbh, solid ones are much better

[RudeDogg1]

they r hardly even done up! yeah its the caps that round off

[Southside_ZS]

they r hardly even done up! yeah its the caps that round off


I didnt mean you personally but someone in the past may have done them up to tight causing them to round off.

[RudeDogg1]

id just feel safer with tougher ones

[Ritchy]

forget wheel nuts just use no more nails works just as well honest:P
