finally got round to fitting my new wheels to the cortina, only had them since November, was only a trial fit to check clearences so i will sort some proper nuts out and fit the centre caps when i have tranferred 2 tyres off the allycats onto the slotmags :thumbsup::ykt:

i nearly ripped the bonnet off though as i banged my head 1 too many times but luckily i just threw the ratchet towards the neighbours garage wall and hurt my shoulder (which is already bad) in the process :evil::evil::evil::evil::lol:

what are the correct nuts i will need for them? currently got some nice slighlty rusty standard steel wheels nuts, and the ones in picture that i used for the alleycats, the seating on the large nuts is right but im unsure on the amount of threads they actually tighten onto, if you get me :lol:
