hmmmmmmm sorry mate don't know then. Never heard of that problem before.

Are they for an MR2 or another car that uses the same PCD?

Hello, My department 8)

Did you not get given any nuts with the rims and do you know which Kosei wheel it actually is, Some of the older Kosei wheels have their own "special" nut that can only be used on a few of their designs.

If i'm on the right track you'll only have enough stud visable to get 1-2 turns (if your lucky) These older Kosei nuts are an alan key type with a double seat which allows the nut to go deep inside the wheel-If you look down the holes where the studs come through there should be a small ridge around 8mm deep and then the hole goes thinner (but still wider than the stud) If it is this type and you can't get hold of any, Let me know, I'm pretty sure we still have some of these in stock.

On the other hand i may be wrong so i apologize for wasting your time :wink:
