What wheel nuts are you running mate?

The reason why i'm asking is because I am running the standard wheel nuts on my G60's but my centre caps (same as yours) wont fit. The clips are too large for the wheel nut unfortunately, just wanted to know if your running a different wheel nut to get them on there?

Cheers

Well they are the one's that have always been on the car. Nevertheless my caps fit no problem over them.

As your here, any word from your mate Tegwin yet?

I havent heard from him for ages mate - its rather odd to be fair!

I never had any problems with my G60s and similar center caps, though they will only go on in one orientation i found.

Cheers Lads :)

Mine have much smaller heads than yours and the centre caps just wont fit over them.
I think i'll just buy some cheap wheel nut caps to solve the problem because the centre cap clips do allow for some movement.

I had the SACH clutch fitted just before Xmas and what a great clutch it is. It feels very strong and solid and delivers that power a clutch is supposed to deliver as alot of it can be lost through a worn clutch.

Recommended investment!
