Evening all,

I have recently acquired a set of oz wheels for the Griff,cloud9 had them refurbed, had a set of Toyo's fitted to them today (£306 fitted, bargain I thought.) in readiness for a trip to Jersey in the morning, jacked the rear of the car up, took one wheel off, put on my shiny new wheel, put the nuts on, went to put the wheel centre on yikes you guessed it, wheel nuts too long. curse

What are the wheel nuts I require? and where can I get them from?

Thanks in advance for any help.

The wheel nuts are basically the same as the fronts with the end machined off!!!

Mine (not sure how original they are) were cut down so that they would fit. it does look a bit amaturish in the way its been done, but maybe thats factory standard? and they've never fallen off...
Who refurbed the wheels?

Definately saw a red one last year and was surprised to see the multispokes were 17"'s allround.
