Default Wheels nuts for redlines

i bought some inovit redlines second hand, just had them refurbed, took them to get the tyres fitted and balanced and the wheels fitted to my scoob to realise the standard fat nuts wont fit in them and have been told i need some thin/long ones..can anybody point me in direction of some asap?

Cheers

Think you need internal drive ones, my old redlines were supliied with these, should not cost you too much for a set.

Yep, you do need different ones. I've got redlines and they have thinner bolts and are the locking key type... dont think they came with the alloys, bought separate from Revolution

Any nut with a 60 degree taper and is M12 X 1.25mm should fit your wheels. If you buy from a decent trader they will ensure you have the right nuts.

Internal drive have an allen key type thing that goes on the inside of the nut rather than a traditional socket that goes on the outside, this then has a nut on the end so you can use your wheel brace. Internal drive are used for wheels with a smaller hole around the nut.

Just for the record these are internal drive, means the hole that the nut sits in does not ahve to be big enough to get a wheel brace in and around the nut, the wheel brace can be as big as you like because it will be connected to the nut outside of the hole.
