SSR's - Crazy wheel nuts?

[marvis]

I have a pair of ssr's and the wheel nuts (longish supercheap ones) like to come loose and is starting to worry me as i would rather my wheels stay on my car.

Should i be using something else? The wheel nut seem to be holding the wheel from the outside rather then the inside from memory..

Thanks,
marvis.

i would recomend not using 'cheap' wheel nuts.

what SSR wheels do you have? Old Mk I and Mk II PCD holes did not have a taper and used nuts with integrated washers similar to OEM Sprinter nuts like these:



If you have the PCD holes with a taper, make sure your nuts have the right taper angle

I have MK3's.. Same thing?

sounds like the old shanked wheelnut conundrum

[marvis]

Whaa? What's that?
