I've recently had my car serviced and the mechanic has noticed that I've got standard wheelnuts on Prodrive wheels. Aparently this is a bad thing as the holes are tapered and nuts don't grip properly. He advised that I get some Prodrive nuts with a flange so they grip the outside face of the wheel properly.
The wheels were originally fitted by Bell&Colville who are a main dealer and should know what they are doing! When I went to Gatwick Subaru to try and order the nuts they didn't seem to think it was a problem either!
The question is, who do I believe, and if I DO need them where can I get them from (I've had a look at the Prodrive website and it seems to more style over content.)
Cheers,
James
