Just bought some OEM wheels from Rabs, but I've not got my original wheel nuts to fit them.

I know they are M12 x 1.5, but whenever I try to find some normal 'flat' nuts and not the acorn style 'tuner' nuts I turn up no results Sad

I'm hesitant to just go and buy some 'bolts' as they might not have the right tensile strength, material. flange...etc to work properly.

Ideas boys?

Hurricane Ive had a set of these in the past, they're pretty good quality

Cheers dude. Not a bad price, but £12.50 delivery!!! What is this guy smoking :crying:

Was hoping to get away with a cheaper option as it's just so I can put the stock wheels on and flog the car.

it'd be stupid to ask whether I could get away with using acorn style nuts with the OEM wheels wouldn't it?
