Small Socket Or Allen Key Wheel Nuts

[Topaz]

I have a set of 19mm wheel nuts on my 5Zigen rims and it is such a tight fit that I dread changing brake pads or anything that involves taking the wheels off as I scrape the inside of the rim and have cross threaded 2 wheel nuts already.

What I need are a set with a lug size smaller than 19mm or Allen key lugs, where does one get some?

cheers

the other option is a thinner walled socket. I had to try a couple of sokets before I found an impact socket with a thinner wall that fitted in OK

or get the socket and grind down the outside of it. mates done it and it works fine

Most decent wheel / tyre places should carry those nuts. Autobarn, Repco etc might have them.

I'll check out those stores tomorrow, cheers

BTW, my current ones are WORK nuts

You can get open ended (allen key) alloy wheel nuts from BSA Wheels Australia in a range of colours. they will close to 19mm outer diameter. Its the smallest open ended I could find in black.

My WORK nuts are blue and I like the blue with bronze wheels so I want to get the same again.

cheers Ford, they look exactly the same as my WORK lugs except for the internal/allen key feature.

Tis difficult finding a perfect fit and I don't particularly wanna cheap ally lugs now, might keep searching around for some.

Will post back if I find a good set though
