Internal Hex Wheel Nuts (allen Key)

[NZM.031]

hey guys,

just bought some rims and they need the hex key type wheel nuts, with the internal hex... just wondering where would have em... dont really want to have to order them through a tyre shop etc as they generally have trouble with stuff like that.

would autobarn or repco etc have them??

doesnt need to be "special racing nuts"

cheers

Autobarn, Repco, Auto1, SuperCheap etc. all should have them. I got mine from Auto1. They're only cheapies but they do the job.

Linton,

Is this for wheel nuts that smaller in diameter than the stock ones?

I have a set of wheels I bought off ebay for $51 (BARGIN!!!) and the stocko wheel nuts are too big in dieter to fit in the hole of the rim where the nuts go.

yep... cant even fit a thin wall 19mm socket in the holes of these rims... the nuts fit... but you cant get a socket on them. so its gotta be allen key types... found em at auto barn, none at repco, supercheap or tyre joint.

what rims did you get for $50?? thats sweet

their pig ugly. Dont get me wrong!.. but nothing a can of Matte Black wont fix. Their fairly heavy too. Some dodgey twin 5 spoke wheels.

Here comes the kicker.. WITH DECENT TYRES!

Just a set of drifties..

thanks for the advice!

Ill swing past supershit and Repco etc and have a look soon.. Thanks Linton!

depends if you like chrome nuts or not... all the usuals are chrome plated...

I have a full set minus one spare which are a nice shop bought black set, $120 from some common aussie brand wheel brand (can't remember name three letters???) and also got a cheaper aluminium set from Ministry of Bass for like $60 except the black is not as hardy... as long as you always use proper torque when tightening them they are fine, over tighten alloy nuts and they will break...

lesson: don't let average tyre shops play with your nuts...

got em from autobarn... $2 a nut and they are chrome... but they are open ended, which is good.

check my thread in the photography section for pics.
