i finally got around to buy s set of 16" S15 200SX wheels from my mate.. for a song ($500 for wheels and tyres).... they look better than i thought they would....see if i can get hold of a digital camera and take a shot to show you..
I have one problem though, the nuts keep coming loose, i put them on yesterday afternoon, and have had to tighten them 3 times already.

Any one know what is causing this, and how i can stop it from happening??
:x :x :x

u may have stripped the bolt or nut...

id check it ASAP

where do i go.. to a wheel & tyre centre??

u can check ya self..but if u aint in the know...id goto a mechanic or tyre/wheel place

i did this once...front right...i was maggot putting stockies on d front...stripped both bolt n nut...n was so tight it snapped the bolt while driving!

my problem is that all 4 wheels have the nuts coming loose....
you've got me concerned now...!!!!!
i don;t want to risk safety for looks... :shock:

id get em checked asap...

and drive carefully...if u feel a slight wobble in the wheel...stop n tighten what eva is loose!

Did you replace steel wheels with alloys??

If so, the steel whell nuts are just bevelled on the end, whereas alloys are bevelled with a flat section to support the wheels on the threads.

I have tried a really dodgy paintbrush drawing showing standard at the top, and alloy at the bottom just from memory.

yes - you won't be able to use the same lug nuts from your steel rims on your mags - they won't fit - this could be why they are coming loose

any tyre/wheel shop will be abel to sell you a set. Get some lock nuts as
well (one for each wheel should be adequate).

all is good... just went down to Booragoon Tyrepower, 20 new nuts later and i'm a happy chappy (cost me $20).. think i'll get some lock nuts next week :lol: .

thanks for your help guys :)

good to hear it worked out mate!!
