Question

I'm looking round at getting some McGard locking nuts for my MY02 when it arrives but have a question - is it the same profile on the taper / radius of a standard wheel to say OZ / Compomotives / Prodrive wheels etc, i.e. if I get a nut set will I have to get another set for other wheels?

It's probably a no-brainer but I want to order some for when the scoob arrives. What's the part no. and where's a decent source apart from Demon Tweeks - nothing against them - just wouldn't mind having a "fuller picture."

TIA

Sorry can't remember the exact details, but yes it is the same taper (60 degrees I think). I think most car part dealers will sell the locking wheel nuts your after including all those on here.

thanks for the info - I was looking to get something a bit different to std SUK ones but didn't know they were also McGard - is it a similar design / locking method?
