jeremyh Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Hi all, I am currently rolling on a set of 3-spoke Volk Advans wheels, and after the car has been making horrendous sounding noises from the drivers' side of the car, I need to know how to remove the wheel nuts from these alloy wheels. From what I can see, the studs used are tapered, and I have not received the socket from the previous owner. The garage could not remove the wheels either. Can anyone please please tell me what socket and size I need to remove these wheels? Jez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayman Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Are they like an allen key type fitment? 5 or 6 sides? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 14, 2006 Share Posted December 14, 2006 Volk Advans? Isn't that two different makes of wheel? A photo might help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeremyh Posted December 14, 2006 Author Share Posted December 14, 2006 Wheels look similar to this: http://www.tsall.com/upload/board/aaP1010901.JPG They are not an allen-key fitment as such, they look more like regular stud bolts as you'd find on most cars, but they are tapered, hence the garage I took the car to today had no way of removing the wheels. Is there anybody who specifically owns the same make of wheels? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LuxobargeTT Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Couldn't reply in the other thread....... A long thin walled socket will get those off---Hi Q (slightly ironic maybe) probably only had a impact socket which have a think wall.
