Locking wheel nuts for steelies was created by Daytona
Hi
Fancy putting locking wheel nuts although we only have the original steelies on so this would entail some new shiny wheel nuts to match.
Seen plenty of sets on ebay but they all mention alloys. Would there be a problem with using them on steelies?

Usually Alloy wheels and Steel wheels vary in thickness.
This is the reason they specify Alloy wheels.
Steel wheels are usually thinner and alloys usually have more of a recess ... Hence the Alloy versions are longer.
Alooy .. usually better
