Cheapest Place To Buy 12X1.25 Nuts - Need Long Skinny Ones (Allen Key Type)

[Justlikemusic]

Where is the cheapest place to buy 12x1.25 nuts - need long skinny ones (allen key type) as I want to put the starcorp 3 piece 17's I have on my 93 telstar tx5 v6 onto my R33.

Just bought the R33 yesterday so driving around on bald tyres has to be rectified asap because I dont want a yellow sticker. I work in Malaga and can swing past Balcatta easily at 8am in the morning. Not looking to spend alot, since I can just get $150 worth of used tyres on the stock rims put on.

Don't get the Allen key type. They crack and rust and are made of cheese.

Go to Richards tyrepower in Osborne park on scabs beach road and speak to Lachlan... They'll have what you need.. 50 a set last I checked that's with locknuts too

Thanks mate ill try get there before work now

[lunjiaow]

i've been using these types of wheel nuts for years, no problems at all. Can be a bit heavy. But doesn't cost much.

Get the "Tuner Style" ones from Taleb on the forums.

[Mr Eps]

for $50. over the counter sale no postage or phone calls.

Got some from Ben at Barbagallo Tyres for $60... needed them asap =(

Richards Tyrepower wanted $70.

Thanks for your help guys. Will need some for the Telstar probably so I'll keep Taleb in mind.

Well went to put the front wheel on and it won't clear the caliper... I think they are a different offset. I am working from this info:

(Car is 93 TX5 Ghia V6 2.5)

"TX5 from 4/92....PCD is 5/114.3, offset is 35 and centre bore is 67"

another site: "TELSTAR 1988 - ON 5 X 114.3 my own measurements offset +45 to 50 center bore 70"

Would a 10mm spacer get me out of trouble (yes I understand it will get me into trouble too...)

I just bought these wheel nuts for $60 and now im not going to have a car to put them on. If a spacer will do the trick then I would rather do that then spend $160 on some used tyres... need rear tyres asap, especially with the weekend coming up.

Put out a wtb ad or trawl and see if someone will rent for a little while

Im sure I could just buy the spacers from a wheel shop... it's only 10mm. Rims have 215/45's on them so I might be able to get away with 15mm spacers if the TX5 Rims are a +45 offset. Im sure the standard wheel stud will be ok with a 10mm spacer, not too sure about 15mm though.

Was actually thinking of selling the car... auto gearbox is starting to give me the .........

[JonnoHR31]

auto pro in malaga sells 10mm slip on spacers

[Justlikemusic]

I got told the front wheel drive offset is different to the rear wheel drive offset? Yet the cars are +40 and +45/50?? and 5x114.3

Tyre places said it doubles the stress put on the studs with spacers because the centre bore cant locate the rim?
