I want to change the wheel locks and wheel bolts, and without having to use the standard plastic caps, they must also be corrosion proof. Any ideas? I tried Halfords but they were well .... you know...not any use.
make and part numbers would be great.

Thanks

Looks like they are 1.5x14mm thread taper http://cgi.ebay.com.au/GORILLA-LOCK-NUTS-14mm-suit...
For the vxr8 anyway. Not sure about legacy size smile

I imagine if you find the thread size and pitch and get a taper seat you can then buy any brand. Try ls1.com.au?

12mm for monaro - one of the reasons some on the aussie forums are a bit twitchy about fitting vxr8 wheels, worried the wheel sits on the wrong part of the bolt taper and that could cause them to shear or some such nonsense.
