    Re: Spotters guide to RS four spoke alloy wheels

    Hello all,

    I finally got my bling bling wheels from refurbisher (I bought these wheels from forum "member" here, who advertised these wheels "need new paint". Needed full resto. Straightening in a lathe, TIG filler welding, media blasting and powder coating. That little phuck seller...)





    My question to all of you wiser fellas is:

    Do I use tapered wheel nuts, or flat flange version nuts?

    What would be right size of the taper, or straight flange?



    Or,



    Cheers and thank you for the help.

    Not sure this is the best place to post this mate as your replies may be limited.

    Anyway, I had some 13x6's of these on a Mk2 years ago and I'm almost certain I used the sleeve nuts.

    You should be able to tell which nuts would suit them best by carefully looking at the female form on the wheel itself.

    Hope this helps,

    Hessu, your wheels are not RS 4-spokes but Compomotive Penta wheels.
