Wheel Nuts

[nitemare_liberty]

Hey guys,
Basically just wanting to know if these wheel nuts would fit?
and what size/dimensions i would need?
I have aftermarket wheels,not stock ones.

I wanted different ones but these were the steel ones i found...
i have heard bad things about aliminium lugs..anyone who knows otherwise let me know but apparently aliminium and steel don't mix too well.

otherwise any other good wheel nuts that anyone can recommend?reasonable priced too.
Thanks

Aluminium can gall on the threads (depending on how much anti-galling grease/compound is used) and the metal is also a lot softer than steel so the nut is a lot more prone to damage and not as strong so you can't tighten the nut as much and are more likely to damage the threads in the nut if it is overtightened. No way I'd use Al as a metal for a wheel nut.

Yeah i figured that and thats what people have told me so thats why i dont wanna use them.i want steel ones for said reasons...
I just need to know if these are ok and what dimension ones to get.

Don't know about the angle but 12mm diamter x 1.25mm thread pitch is what you need to be looking for

Thought so,ok awesome.thanks very much.
Do you know how I'd find out if the angle is ok?spose it depends on the wheel

measure the angle on the standard nuts your currently using?
