Wheel nuts for Volk TE37's?

[dimi_108]

Howdy all.
I need some wheel nuts for my TE37's. I'm just looking for some that will fit for now until i get a chance to order a set of Rays wheel nuts.
Would most wheels shops have compatible ones for these type of wheels (and our cars)?

 

[matchtheclown]

Hmm look Soo nice dimi!

 

[dimi_108]

Haha yeah bro you pushed me to buy them lol

Are you going to source new stickers or remove what's there? looks odd with only 1/2 a sticker.

As for the nuts, source them from a sponsor on hardtuned.net - probably cheaper than walking into a local tyre shop to get the right Volk nuts.

 

[dimi_108]

Yah. New OEM decal is on it's way for that wheel.

I'm getting tyres for the wheels this week. The tyre shop asked what car i needed nuts for. I told them it was a Legnum VR-4 and it takes the same wheel nuts as a Ralliart Magna. They said they've got aftermarket lugs for it so should be sweet. If not, i'll have to go from tyre shop to tyre shop in search for some!

dimi, call team 5zigen and speak with Eric. They should have one in stock.

EDIT:
Emailed you his number, try that one. If not then he probably moved to QLD now.

Try BuddyClub too at Lidcombe - Unit 19, 4A Bachell Ave Lidcombe NSW 2141 | Tel: 02-9643 5111

What tyres are you using? If you're worried about the wheel brace/socket scratching the holes, get some allen key style nuts. They are good.

 

[dimi_108]

Awesome. Thanks fellas
I'll be getting some 225/40/18's this week.

 

[ygoslo]

I'd use 215s on a 7"... My car came with 225s on 7.5s and they were bulged.

 

[dimi_108]

Bulged!?

 

[montgomery]

just get the rays ones and be done with it.. Maybe try evo's wheel nuts.

Make sure you get the key with em too (my car didnt come with the lock nuts key )

 

[dimi_108]

just get the rays ones and be done with it

Haha you make it sound so easy man. They cost $250 and take time to ship from overseas.
Like i said, i'll be getting them but for now i was wondering if other nuts besides the Rays ones would fit.

Thanks for your input though.

 

[montgomery]

I know it sounds easy , i was lucky enough to get them on the car.

you should be able to pick them up for about 230 at the cheapest.

a few ebay shops sell them.

 

[Guest]

are they just a tapered seat?

btw, 99% of mitsi's use M12x1.5 wheel nuts.

Haha you make it sound so easy man. They cost $250 and take time to ship from overseas.

Dimi I think mine were $190 and only took three days from Japan - are you getting the standard height ones or the extended length?

Trev, that's cheap. I'm looking for the standard height ones in blue.
Where did you get your ones from if you don't mine me asking?

Also, i've always wondered where do you all keep your lock nut key (bolt)? There's no point leaving it in the car or a rim stealer can just break in and get the nut then take the wheels. But if i need to remove a wheel if it goes flat, i need the lock nut in the car! LOL
I've always kept my lock nuts in my cars. Hmm

 

[gorgath]

I used velcro strap and stick it steering column behind the plastic dash. safe and sound! Get a two decent size.

 

[Hotwire]

Well I'll put it this way - my locknuts have always been kept in my cars, and every time I've forgotten to get it out for tyre change/servicing etc, they always have to ring me and ask where it is

 

[dimi_108]

Haha yeah, see. Everyone leaves their lock nuts in the car.
I guess we just need to "hide" them somewhere. And i think i've found the perfect spot... deep inside the center console, yet easy to access

 

[ygoslo]

Bulged!?

Bulged, as in wider than the rim. Like this:
