rs2k2008 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 those steel nuts aint good for alloy (they do work tho) go scrap yard and ask for 16 alloy wheel bolts ford fitment they will sort you (cost me tenner) maybe the 4 nuts nd the key are locking wheel nuts?

Carl160180 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 yes if you really want to, but make sure u get propper nuts tomoz, and do them tight... 1. It's illegal2. It's dangerous as fcuk!3. If one of the wheels fall off you could hurt yourself or kill an innocent pedestrian!!!!! Is it REALLY worth it for having your wheels on a day early?
