You will almost certainly need to get a set of nuts with a 60degree taper.

Do you shudder when you see your own car since you have aftermarket wheels

Hope you haven't damaged the seats I bought a set of wheels once where someone had flogged up non tapered nuts!

I had to get them machined.

A new set of Rays bolts is £150, which is significantly cheaper than machine work on forged wheels.

Mhhm, this "tapered nut" situation had me do some further reading.

This was quite interesting and may be of some use

Nice looking wheels but I would certainly check the nut seats, you can't mess with safety. If it is anything like the Mugen ones you will need to change the nuts.

thanks for highlighting my folly everyone

I've just ordered some Rays wheel nuts which should be here tomorrow (I've not driven the car since you guys pointed out the mistake)
