I will be fitting 18" OZ ultraleggeras to my 04 wrx.What size are the standard wheelnuts and will they be ok to use with these wheels.There seem to be loads of different sizes for sale...

 

Std nuts aren't a good fit.

i want some with locking wheelnuts.There are loads for sale on ebay just dont know which ones will be ok to use with the ultraleggeras when they have been refurbed.

 

You want the ones that have a 60 degree taper iirc.

 

ok thanks i will have a look

 

Dave YI have Oz Alleggeritas on mine and I bought Kai black nuts which are shaped for security along with McGard black locking nuts also. Look mint and have been fine for me.

Not that flush....

 

12x1.25 60deg cone 19mm hex. OE nuts will rip through aftermarket wheels that do not have the steel inserts of the OE wheels so you need nuts with deeper cones.

Cheapest solution:

They dont look to have a very good finish or its a bad picture.I will need locking nuts aswell Do OZ wheels make wheel nuts?

 

Dave, the McGard nuts are good and Thatcham approved. IMHO look no further. The fact they come in black is good also. Again, RCM and Revolution have both used the Kai Racing nuts on my car with no negative comments. If Olly at RCM thought so he would tell me.

 

Dont know how much they are,but they definetly do them,i just bought some new OZ wheels and they came with a set of shiny new nuts.I,ve not used them though,i bought a set of black Rays nuts off someone(Paulospec-c)on here,good quality and good fit at a reasonable price,4 of the 20 pack are locking nuts as well,so they would be ideal for you.

 

My black kei wheel nuts discoloured and started to look shabby after only a couple of months .

 

what make were the ones that came with the OZ wheels

 

No name on them mate,they came with a full fitting kit including big round things that i assume are so you can put diffrent sized centre caps in?

 

Did they come with locking nuts?

 

Just had a look again,no theres just 4 bags of 5 standard nuts

 

The OZ nuts aren't up to our fabulous climate... both of my sets looked rubbish after only one winter.

dunx

P.S. Avoid acidic wheel cleaners on the nuts and centre caps !

 

I have decided to get some Mcgard locking nuts + matching nuts.Where do i get them,where is the best deal?

 

Dave Y, just re-read up the thread bud, I put links for Revolution on there. I got mine from there. they were fitted on the day as I had my wheels changed and suspension done by them on that day.

 

spoke to them,they are going to give me a price for a complete Mcgard set on monday

 

Tell them who you got the wheels from, and ask for a decent deal...

dunx

 

you mean they will feel sorry for me? Wheel refurb + 4 tyres. I have the 4 tyres for sale £40 and not one taker.If you see me getting on a plane wait for the next one,the luck i have

 

Hi

Give me a shout if you are stuck as we can supply either the standard type that would come with your OZ wheels although as mentioned above they do not last.
We can also supply (as MaDass mentioned) the Kei Racing spline drive nuts as a complete set of 20 or c/w a set of McGard locking nuts. Both are available in either black or silver and the Kei nuts are available in a variety of weird and wonderful colours.

Thanks

i rang monday and bought some,they havent arrived yet.

 

they arrived today look ok to me.Thanks to Revolution.

 

Do you mean spigot rings ?

 

What are they for then?

 

Hi

Spiggot rings are used on most aftermarket wheels to enable the wheel to fit onto the hub of the desired car. Subarus are the same 5 stud pattern as some VWs but the hub size is 1mm smaller so if you had a set of aftermarket wheels with the VW spiggots fitted they would need a new set to fit them properly to the Subaru hub otherwise there will be a gap and this will cause vibration.

Hope that helps and is clear as mud!!

Thanks

keith

 

Oh oh,should i have used the spiggot rings then,or are they supplied in case i want to use the wheels on another car?I just put the wheels on as usual,nuts on and away,they seem fine,but you,ve got me thinking now
