Mystic Storm 0 Posted June 14, 2004 Hi I've just bought a new set of BBS RX's for my rado from Halfords. They've told me that they don't come with new wheel nuts/bolts and will just use the old fittings. Never bought alloys before so can anyone tell me if this is normal? I thought I would have got a new set of nuts/bolts? Cheers James Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aposegil 0 Posted June 14, 2004 you should be fine the only time you need new bolts is when you go for a complete mad offset like i am :roll: would suggest getting some good quality wheel locking nuts thou :mrgreen: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PhatVR6 0 Posted June 14, 2004 Every new set of wheels I've ever bought came with new bolts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mystic Storm 0 Posted June 14, 2004 Cheers. Getting locking nuts for free cause they took a week longer to be delivered. I know the originals will fit but I still find it strange that they wouldn't come with new bolts. They told me it was because they were BBS? Still not convinced!

IIRC Skid got new wheel nuts with his BBS RX's when he bought them from Halfords up here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andycowuk 0 Posted June 14, 2004 BBS and some others have radius seats for the bolts/nuts, where as the majority of other brands use 60 degree tapers make sure ur locking ones have the radius seat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
