Maloo wheel nuts

[Atholu]

Did VS Maloos use standard steel wheel nuts? I have a set of Maloo rims i want to put on and the nuts off my CSA rims seem to have a different taper. They look like the Supercheap Auto nuts.

Bought my VS Maloo in 2012 from the 2nd owner with 85.5 k kms on it , no mechanical mods , had the original wheels on it.
It had the standard steel wheel nuts on 4 studs and a lock nut on the 5th stud per wheel.
So feel pretty confidant this is the original standard setup.

Thanks for that. I also spoke to a guy with a VP Maloo and his have black covers over the nuts. He's owned from new. I'll clean my wheels up and put them on.

Yeah, I got some plastic wheel nut covers , ground 4 to fit over the lock nuts and painted them all to match.
I was running at one point /time , ( I think GTS rims = 17" ) , = need to refurb these = 1 is flat spot/leaking now.
They do look soooo much nicer than the VS Maloo/Manta rims.

I got a set of Mantas to replace the 18s on mine. Tyres are too expensive and it's uncomfortable on my local roads
