I've got some new rims.

17x8 17x9 the nuts will need to be hex type open ended...and black to go with my completely black rims...

The holes allow 22mm for the for the nuts, Does that mean I would be at maximum 20mm nuts?

Anyone had any experience with this. I can get silver ones at my local tyre place but black is hard to find.

I found Greddy Black open ended, it said everything but the outside diameter of the nut, so I am unsure if they will fit the hole...the Greddy ones are hex shape to accommodate use of a socket as well as hex open ended, imagine if they're 21mm when the nut is fitted it would only have .5 mm movement before it start to scratch...

My experience in the past with painted rims is to be careful what nut you use as when the tyre guy comes along with his rattly rattle gun and big socket he may start stripping paint unless he has the right thin walled socket.

These mags will need to be open ended...

A bit off topic. This probably sounds stupid but i had to use a 22mm spark plug socket as it was thin walled enough to fit in the holes over a standard 22mm type socket. I also remember seeing some lightweight racing type nuts advertised in HPI a couple of issues back, think they were black.

Thanks for the ideas....

Unforunately the spark plug socket is useful for these things usually but since these are brand new painted rims I want no reason for them to get damaged in the nut well area... I have used spark plug sockets in the past and they work to a point, but it will still scratch the paint if your not careful, plus the holes I have to get a nut into is 22mm so I will need nuts no larger than 20mm really....

I have found BSA has black nuts avilable in the open ended format I need, that is basically a wheel lock nut that needs a particular shape drive to tighten or remove them.... These may be the answer $1.50 each and $3 for the driver to use them... these sound like just the normal security nuts that you get one for each wheel, but if it works,

Just have to make sure they are correct taper angle, or dosen't that really matter?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
