Best to buy the thin aftermarket ones, then they will fit all wheels :)

my 20's have those one but they are tapered. I need the other kind, its pointless buying them if they wont fit :(

Argh I hate my car sometimes lol

Take one of the wheels into a tyre shop and get them to look at it. Putting tapered wheel nuts into an alloy wheel when it needs the flat with washer type is not a good idea.

Factory alloys take the flat washer ones which the VRX wheels are. Any reputable tyre/wheel place should have them. I am pretty sure they all have the same thread and bolt hole sizes.

I have a spare set from my factory alloy but would probably cost more than its worth mailing it to you.

Mal (Madmagna) has a set he said he would sell me for $25 plus post ?

They'll cost more new, so I'd take him up on it

Absolutely. I'm pretty sure they're normally about $15-20 for a bag of 6 from the dealer!

if you can get them for $25 do it - its super hard to find those wheel nuts as i believe they are specific to the ROH Series 2 rim - on that note i have a full set of those rims and nuts lying around at home somewhere...

At $25 for a set of 6 (?), I would go for them. I paid something like $16 for 1 wheel nut, and another $12 or so for a stud for my Pajero (mag wheels). That was from a stealership. I knew I was being fleeced, but I needed a new stud, so I had to pay up.
