Default Wheel nuts

Hi,
This may sound a daft question.
i have a 95 v2 sti and i tried fitting a set of speedline alloys to it. i noticed my original nuts did not suit the wheels. they had a very shallow contact surface and scored the wheels.
since this i have also bought a set of RB5 alloys, does anyone know where to get the correct wheel nuts from for these?
cheers

Try PRI Racing Ltd. Authorised dealers for Suspension Bushes, Car tuning parts, Filters, Light Bulbs, Car Mats., they do various steel nuts. Presume you need 12x1.25 19m hex with 60 deg seat. The ones they do have a much deeper cone than the OE nuts.

Yes the OEM nuts will cut into the sleeve.

You can pay a little or alot for new nuts the choice is huge

Personally I look for internal drive lugs these days to give full protection to the wheels.
