VX wheel nuts

[Tones]

Hi,
I had a tyre repaired the other day and the tyre shop said my wheel nuts were "elongating" my alloy rim stud holes.
They suggested I go to sprints and get some "alloy rim wheel nuts", but after ringing around no one knows of these "alloy rim wheel nuts".
Has anyone out there heard of them.
I'm feeling a little like a dumb ass at the moment.
Thanks in advance,
Tones.

Ok so im guessing that you are running the standard steel rim wheel nuts, the alloy wheel nuts have a large acorn taper at the bottom, this is what you need to get. But if your stud holes are elongated I would have them re drilled and sleeved to save your wheels coming loose when you drive, if it is bad that is.

Aha. Now I see.
Thanks for your reply.

Just get normal acorn tapered nuts, they are all 60º taper which is what your standard nuts are.

Most tyre shops don't have a clue.
