You don't HAVE to change your old ones, but 1: They're really fiddly to get on. 2: They spoil the look and 3: You've gotta fit lockers anyway to stop the "swap you for a coupla housebricks" fraternity making you a target of one of their generous donations Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demon Escort S Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 Do not put alloys on with steel wheel nuts, they are not designed for alloys otherwise tthere would only be one wheel nut, if you puy steel wheel nuts on then there is a possibility that the wheel could work its way loose. Don’t people understand this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jackster Posted May 25, 2004 Share Posted May 25, 2004 I would get new nuts and also invest in some locking wheel nuts aswell, you dont want to wake up one morning and find your car on bricks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
