Still living down in Mulgrave? We'll have to catch up for a chat mate
Well done indeed

Haha thanks mate. Yep still in Mulgrave and will be there for a long time :) I remember back when you came with the spare door interior card we had a chat and I was a little hesitant about the Beams swap but you were like "DO IT" lol. It's been a while since that time :) Currently still getting water plumbing sorted out. Waiting on a few more parts for that. Next is changing the suspension to late model stocks (can't really afford aftermarket ATM). Then wrapping those R32 rims with Advan Neovas (gonna make a huge difference to what I have now lol). If I have extra $$ will get a dual exit exhaust and late model front lip. Then it's SHOWTIME at Wakefield

DOH I forgot to attach picture. *triple facepalm*  The R32 rims are fine. I need Toyota OEM wheel nuts. Measurement is 12x1.5mm? Guess how much toyota dealer wants? $15 per nut = $75 per corner = $300 all up...

Just go but some generic wheel nuts? From super heap or somewhere
Is it because the r32 ones are to big or to little for the holes?

The suspension shop told me I need flat seated nuts with built in washers which may or may not be unique to MR2s but I think Celicas came with them too. The Nissan ones or generic "lug" nuts are tapered so they are angled at the seat. Technically you can use them but mechanical failure is likely, not something I wanna risk at 160km/h lol Check this out: http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/forums/59/41923.html

These were $956 all up. Medium compound but I was told it's hard enough for street use as A048 were designed for high stress. Came standard on Elise (Med-Hard tho) With these stockies they are 205/50/15, 225/50/15 Before this I used the same wheel nuts for my first set of rims, and they fit my R32s fine as well so I assumed it would work. Guess I found out the long way lol. Damn Nissan and aftermarket support  If they had AD08 woulda used my R32s but bought these stockies cos A048 sizes in the 15 range and Wakefield is in 2 weeks, AD08 is on back order 4 weeks :S

There is a shop in Sydney called 'nice products'. They supply most of the Australian market with wheel nuts and a few other items. If you can put up a pic of the wheel nuts and the sizes, I will stop by on Monday and pick up a set for you. Chances are, they will be $1.50 each.
BTW: better tyres than mine!
