thefastone Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Just fitted me new wheels that I bought off Philip_W today, and yeah, I like them They do finish the car a litte better... I'm glad that I've prolly overstretched myself this month for them... Only one thing though... and thats with the Studs... Having never fitted Alloys to any car that ive had before I dont know if this is normal or not, basicly when I took the Nuts off the old wheels, they were a 2 or 3 threads in saftey... now the studs are not protruding from the Nuts at all.... Now being that they are subaru wheels, is this normal? or do I somehow need to do somthing else? ie: change the studs... its only a thought... is the studs on the slightly newer cars, or the turbo models, longer or something? some help on this would be really appreciated... No matter how stoopid I feel for asking.... Anyways... now for the pics...
RA Dunk Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 sorry i cant offer ya any technical help m8 , but them wheels are a BIG improvment on yer last ones!! []
thefastone Posted August 5, 2006 Author Posted August 5, 2006 heh, well to be fair its not hard to make an improvement to the original ones.... [] []
thefastone Posted August 5, 2006 Author Posted August 5, 2006 yeah thats the nuts off the front wheel, the one that I lost the hubcap for.... so thats how that came to be rusty... and yeah, Ta! []
thefastone Posted August 5, 2006 Author Posted August 5, 2006 oh, without a shadow, I have to get locking nuts anyways, so about time to replace the whole lot, but I still want to know if they are safe....? thats the only thing thats worrying me just now....
PECO Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Drive the car at 100mph if the steering wheel isn't shaking like a b@stard then your ok! PS I love beer!
bigdavie Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 mate as long as they are horsed up they aint going anywhere ! personally i wouldnt worry about it !! if you really really are worried about it buy some thread lock and put it on ! hth !
gus the bus Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 Makes one hell of a difference over wheeltrims[Y] Btw I've got a set of brand new Subaru nuts that will fit those that are nae feckin use to me finished in black but are for alloys (closed end) so the thread wont show. You can have them if you want them? for the cost of postage. Gus

z1000 Posted August 5, 2006 Posted August 5, 2006 The wheels make a vast difference but take gus up on his offer as the rusty nuts spoil it a bit. What you need now is some bling bling lexus rear lights which i may just have in the shed if ur interested ? Steve
