you have to be carefull when changing wheels because they have different nuts holding them on if you use standard steel rim wheel nuts on alloys wheels they will not hold your wheel on and they will pull thru the holes the 1st bend you come to!! you can get wheel nuts from any good miniparts supplier eg M&M`s Minisport etc or ebay :)

Hello Olly,
I think you might be refering to the set of alloys i recently bought for 40 quid.
On Deano's advice i purchased a set of chromed wheel nuts from M&M's for 24quid(a set of locking nuts was an additional 15 quid)You might be able able to get them off e-bay a bit cheaper but it was easier to nip to Warrington and pick them up in person.They seem to be doing their job fine as all four wheels are still on the car at the mo!!:)
Cheers,
Bri.
