Buddy Club, Rays, Greddy Or Other Wheel Nuts

[Roy]

What are the best value and what do they cost? Next question where is the best place to buy them?

Also am going to need to run 10mm spacers with my new wheels. So will need spacers, i assume they must be bolt on. So is a there a good place for longer wheel studs or dont i need them for the bolt on type?

Bolt on type dont need longer studs (you might even have to cut them shorter if your wheel doesn't have the recesses in the back), but I dont think they make 10mm bolt ons, not enough meat to hold the studs. The thinnest I've seen is 15mm with 20mm being much more common. Just Jap sell the 15mm ones and they are hub centric which is helpful

Troy,

I was chasing some hub centric bolt-on 10mm spacers for my gtst. Unfortunately 10mm is too thin for the bolts to be sunk into the spacer and are therefore unavail. The thinest bolt-on spacer I could find was a 15mm one from Kudos MS on these forums.

As for the wheel nuts....I'm using a set of Rays Daytona which are a hollow type (can see how much thread is being used) and have a rotating ring at the part that meets the rims which stops any damage being done to the rim if you over torque the nuts.

Cheers

For a bolt on spacer I'm afraid so.....you can get 10mm dodgy plate spacers though

Will the extra 5mm (ie 15mm bolt on type) really make a difference?

[Ronin 09]

they are tasty wheels Ant, but wanted a pic of Roy's

basically for 10mm spacer your only option is slip on. there are 2 types. the cheap arse ones, and the nice alloy ones that have an extra hub lip on them. either one is 'ok' but obviously one type is better! for 10mm spacers, I'd get 10mm longer studs too (well nismo make ones that are either 8mm longer, or 18mm longer). If you go bolt on you wont need new studs but you will almost certainly have to cut down your old ones which means they wont be any good if you want to take the spacers off again. but of course 15mm is the smallest bolt on spacer around. the nicest ones I've seen are the rays daytona ones. will have a look in the rays catalogue when i get home.

[Beer Baron]

oh, and the daytona nuts are the shiznit! plus from memory they are 17mm hex which is handy if you have narrow 'holes' in your wheels which can make 19mm nuts a biatch.

I've got the other version of the Ray's nuts, but the extended long version so I could fit them over long studs if need be (ie taking spacers off). They're nice

Paid $200 for them new, but from a 'private' seller who had a few sets.

[Roy]

Will take a pic tonight Ronin

[lukits01]

NISMO sells the 7-sided extended long version Lock-nuts

I bought a set when I was in their OMORI factory, basically all 20 of them are 7-sided lock nuts that would fit long studs.

They also have the racing version which has hollow centres.

[STATUS]

hey hey i have some killer ones that just landed fully forged out of the same factory as the jap majors but half the price. not branded and shipped around the globe

what color? i think i have a sample silver set or black? here somewhere and also a whole lot of spare trust ones if you want the name on them .

try gallop in nunawading, terracotta drive right next door to us. he has all the diff spacers and supplies most of the traders and wheel shops.

[Roy]

Well these are the new street rims. Will stick with my WEDS for trackwork, but hopefully these new LMs will tart the old whore up.

URAS, yeh whatever would look good with these wheels on a silver car
