Wheel Nuts To Suit Dished Rims

[sl33ek]

hi guys

Seems like every time I need to remove my rear wheels for a brake or tyre change and reattach it, the wheel stud gets wrecked - as in "threaded" when reattaching the wheel nut.

my rear wheel is dished starcorp impuls so the hole for the nut is quite deep so i think thats whats causing it. It needs to be hand tightened first to get around this, but tyre shops didnt do this even when I request it

My mechanic recommended getting long wheel nuts with the allen key thing in the middle.

What do you guys recommend and is there any links to pics of these nuts so i know what to look for?

Use the allen key type.

use the allen key type for sure.... then if you find them in black, let me know where you found them... oh yeah and under 22mm in diameter

thanx

oh OK looks like 22mm allen key type is the way to go thanks for confirming

So what advantage does the allen key type have over standard nuts? does it just prevent people from using the rattle gun to tighten the nut?

Anyone know where to source them from as well?
