Default Fitting Alloys

Hi Guys

Just in the process of recieving some wheels for my 95 WRX through Scoobynet 'For Sale'. The wheels don't come with aftermarket bolts, and I have been told to just use the OE ones. I obviously have alloys on at the mo, but only OE, so there shouldn't be a problem, but does anyone know any different?

The wheels are 18" OZ Superleggeras.

John

I don't know about OZ wheels (sorry) but Speedline wheels require completely different nuts to OE ones. There is a completely different bevel on speedline nuts.

I would wait to hear from someone with experience of OZ wheels before fitting them with OE nuts.

I had OZ prodrive wheels.
These used the same OE nuts without a problem.

Superlegs are not a 'prodrive' wheel, therefore may well need different nuts, get them first to check!!
