Default Rays formula wheel nuts



I've just ordered a set of Rays Duralumin wheel nuts, however the dealer had run out, so has offered me a set of Rays formula Wheel nuts for the same price (saving me over £80!)

My question (if anybody knows) will they fit the standard OEM thread length? Rays website state these nuts use a 28mm screw length, will this work with the current OEM studs if I have Rota torques fitted?

Also they state my wheel must have a 60 degree taper seats? can anyone out there put this all into simple terms for a simple guy?

As the offer is a total bargain, I wouldn’t want to miss out on a 'technicality'

Thanks in advance

Rob I have the formula wheel nuts - the conical taper is used primarily for aftermarket wheels. IIRC the OEM wheel does not have a 60 degree tapered seat. They should however, be fine with your wheels

No worries Rob.

I've just checked my statement, I actually paid £115 delivered. Speak to Leon and he should do you a deal.

They'll be fine with your Rotas mate

Wheel nuts arrived today together with my Cusco Carbon upper strut...just waiting to get my car back from Honda tomorrow...after 5 days!!

I was surprised with the colour combo, I ordered Black end caps etc, which I received, however the writing 'Volks Racing' is in red

Mine are the same - red writing. I like em with the red writing but you cant see the sides as they seat deep into my LMs.

Apologies for the dirty wheels - I know Chris would be slitting his wrists if this was a pic of his wheels

60 degree taper is what all aftermarket wheels use as standard.
