Thats really lousy Mass :worship: what happened to the good old days where people used to steal P plates or tyre valve caps?? :nyaanyaa:

Would you bother putting a lock nut on each rims to balance them all??.. saves you buying a whole set :yucky:

yeh i know, i cud handle the valve but a nut thats just annoying... The wheels already have the rays lock nuts, so i need the normal wheel nut, otherwise id have 2 lock nuts on the wheel haha

thats f**ked.

if you catch these f**kers make sure you get a nut back.

lol

mass, if you buy a set, I'll take the security nuts off you (and the socket/key), as the compliance workshop smashed my secuirty nuts to change the wheels, and I have 4 regular blue rays nuts on each of my wheels. annoying really.

Unlucky Mass

Someone stole one of my red Work nuts on my Skyline too.

Had to order another $200 set just to replace it.

Took 4 of the nuts and sold the other 16 to some Silvia 4-stud guy so I got some of my money back. Major inconvenience though.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
