Swapping to mk3 roadster wheels - can I use the original mk1a wheel nuts?
I currently have the mk1a triangle alloys fitted. Or will I need a set of mk3 wheel nuts? cheers

Well MK3 nuts would be ideal, but really you need wheel nuts that have the right taper etc.

I have a an inkling that using stock wheel nuts would not be a good idea as they have a different pitch/taper.

Plenty of people have put mk3 wheels on their mk1, so i'm sure someone else can advise with a bit more certainty.

Standard MK1a wheel nuts will fit fine, 1b's will fit OK but are a bit long in the body so stick out a bit and don't look as good IMHO.
MK3 wheel nuts fit fine they are the same thread/pitch as MK1's 12 x 1.5mm
The wheel nuts are parallel, flat faced with a floating flat washer NOT the taper faced type.
I bought a new set from Ebay for around £20 for 20, but that was a few years ago so are probably dearer now

EDIT
These are the type you need CLICKY
This what they look like fitted

Damn, if only I found that ebay link earlier

Bought them from the local tyre shop for 4€ each

We used the Roadster nuts with the Roadster alloys on our SC. Although I chucked the locking nuts in favour of regular 1a nuts.

When you chnage wheels as often as we do, there's nothing worse than locking wheel nuts
