I thought you got that nut out a while back Kenny. That's some amount of time that's been stuck!
Glad you got it sorted!
Did you ask Stu about the possibility of making stronger splines for us all? Stu? You interested? Could definitely make a few bob from us S2 owners!

You would be far better buying the decent wheelnuts from eliseparts at £20 - they made life so much easier on my s2 (and the exige has them too)

It says they're longer, for use with spacers and wider wheels. Do they stick out far with standard wheels?
They also don't have a locking nut, which is kinda why I hadn't gone for them in the past.

Sorry mate, didnt bother seing as it was no longer required. Worth sending him a pm to see if its doable although I would agree with JJ and reccommend the longer bolts.

I would dump the locking wheel nuts if you are comfortable with that ,more bother than they are worth.
Cheers Kenny,I look forward to the shandy

I've never had anyone try to steal a set of wheels and I generally don't leave the car in the kind of places where I would expect that to happen, but I guess it's the peace of mind thing.
