Wheels nuts

Hi guys, after a bit of advice as id rather be safe than sorry. I ordered a set of the following wheel nuts from Ebay after reading about them in a thread on here.

And after reading that its better to go for steel nuts rather than soft alloy, these seemed like a good buy. However when they arrived today, ive noticed that although they are 12 x 1.5mm, there is only a small amount of tapered seat that meets the alloy compared to the stock nuts, is this dangerous to be halving the amount of contact between nut and alloy?

Cheers guys

Do you have stock or after market wheels?

Aftermarket mate, Oz Superleggera split rims to be exact. Just looks like they have only a small amount of seating compared to stock, think it may be safer to send them back and get some with a longer angle on the nut.

I was planning on ordering the red ones of these, RareRims are a pretty respectable alloy wheel retailer so would hope the products they sell are safe & reliable for road use..

Just seems like there is very little to grab against, if you look at the amount of taper you get on something like this

Compared to the ones in post#1, they seem to be alot shorter, will get one of the wheels off tomorrow and see how much they actualy touch, if they are almost on the point of passing through the alloy, then i'll send them back and choose again.

Yea i was looking at the Rays wheel nuts, and those are like the D1's you linked to there. Says in the description, they are made with a more tapered bottom for use with aftermarket alloys.

(however they do cost a fair bit more >

Will look out for what you find out tommorow with your test fit! : )

They are the same size as the ones I got from Paul when I bought my rota's and had no prblems at all.

UPDATE

I did'nt get chance to have a look into this yesterday, but had a few hours free this afternoon so thought id see what i could find out, In the first picture you can clearly see the difference between the amount of tapered area that each nut has. The nut on the left is Stock, the middle one is a set i had from Ibrar ( Speedwells ) on here, and the blue one is obviously the new one. When seated in the alloy, the first two seem to sit level with the face of the wheel, where as the new one slips further down the hole.

But when i turned the wheel round you can clearly see that the nut is far bigger than the hole, so even though it's a smaller nut, i cant see any chance of it ever passing through the alloy. These nuts are made of steel so once torqued up i dont think there will any problems.

Quick snap of how they will look when fitted

i had ebay ones, were the light alloy, were rubish,

i then got ebay steel ones, about 25quid, they are great

TPI are the brand,
