What do people think?

Ive got one question!

When I purchased the alloys they only come with "12" wheel nuts as the chap who sold them needed 4 to move his car around!

Now my question is if I put them on with 3 wheel nuts on each wheel will it be dangerous or not make any difference? It will only be for a week or so while I find 4 more!

They are the origional VTS wheel nuts if anyone has got any to sell me via Paypal! Save me alot of time and no doubt money!!

Thank you in advance

im using VTR wheel nuts on my S wheels mate havent had any problems or issues!

[RichM]

Use the wheel bolts that you used for your VTR alloys?

[666]

3 nuts are fine

[wilksey]

Ive lost them off the face of the earth!! Somewhere in the house but for the love of me I can't find them! Will have another look but how much would 4 new nuts be from Cit' them selves?

[Mardgee]

i bought two wheel nuts from citroen when i got my locking ones taking off and i think its 2.30 per bolt.

[J222JRA]

3 normal nuts each wheel is ok, i would get a set of locking nuts, job done then.

[Bickerton]

Buy a set of locking nuts, tis prolly what he was using

[wilksey]

I already have the locking nuts...im just missing 4 normal nuts

[Bickerton]

Would recommend against just using 3 nuts, try a tyre place for another 4 nuts

[rossfisher89]

love the alloys mate, how much you pay? not liking the 4 different tyres tho lol. stick some toyo proxies on em :D

[wilksey]

£150 pal few chips on them but nothing to noticable. Yup will stick proxes on them in the summer when I have the funds. Wheres the best website for getting dirt cheap tyres?

[Bickerton]

Ebay or black circle seem the decentish places,need to add balancing and fitting into the price as such tho, up to a fiverish per wheel depending where you go

[D4N91]

just try down at the scrappy im sure you'll find some in there lol :)

[fossie]

Locking nuts ftw dude....

[kenny]

buy a set of locking wheel nuts. problem solved ;)

[OLLYVTS]

He has already got 4 locking nuts ^^he needs 4 normal wheel bolts.

Try a scrappy or on here ebay ect.

Also you will be ok to drive with just 3 wheel nuts for abit,just take it easy no 100mph round abouts.

[stevie_m]

going about in 3 nuts will be ok for a little while, but get locking nuts ... imo

[craig180]

You'll be fine with 3 nuts on each wheel. Did you buy them from Evans?

btw - move your laundry next time you take pics ;)

[lakey_xs]

i thought it was 3 points per wheel if a nut/bolt was missing ?

[Mr_P]

Fine to use three bolts per wheel temporarily. But not as a permanent measure unless of course they are 3 stud.

[blackie_2k5]

it is 3 points as said per wheel nu missing, but as said is ok for short term as long as your not goin nuts in the car, just think about your lisence imo, 4 wheels is 12 points, which = no liscence,

3 nuts is fine, goes through an m.o.t too....i think, 98% sure

[VTRelite]

3 nuts is fine, goes through an m.o.t too....i think, 98% sure


incorrect - missing wheel nut or bolt is instant fail

[lakey_xs]

3 nuts is fine, goes through an m.o.t too....i think, 98% sure
