(actually just noticed peeps have been talking in the cruise thread)anyways.....Can someone confirm these nuts are correct for OEM ford rims? http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/belmont/other-parts-accessories/brand-new-1-2-20mm-wheel-nuts-suit-ford-thread-/1040899586I think I read that aftermarket rims use different wheel nuts (60 degree taper); and that the aftermarket nuts will not work with Ford OEM rims?Or do you think I should try and buy genuine ones off a ford wreck or something? I'm thinking the gumtree ones would be way cheaper and don't look too sh1t lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm a noob remember lol I don't even know what tapered seat means I just thought OEM rims needed specific wheel nuts I.e. the chunky silver ones which look similar to the gumtree ad I posted? And remember when I bought my rota wheel nuts; in the ebay description it said 60 degree taper to suit aftermarket rims (and had some clause that it would not suit some OEM rims?)....?????????

One day I figure it might be worth refurbing them; and painting gloss black...could be good "track" rims (or summertime set if I wrap in semi slicks). They clear brembos too apparently? Might just plastidip if the quotes are too steep...and then good enough for the time when I have to sell; when returning back to stock But yeah wheel refurb info would be good if anyone knows someone decent Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
