 IMG_6038 by s_worksair, on Flickr As you can see the standard MX5 nuts end up buried deep in the holes of my new wheels. I can just about fit a spark plug socket in there but I have to tap it on and removing it is a pain. Should I have used an extra long set of nuts? Does something like this exist? If so who sells them? I've only fitted one wheel so far as I wanted your views... If anyone knows of a product to cover up the centre hole please advise. Wheels are Enkei. Thanks! |

Apparently those tuner nuts will be here tomorrow, so all good.
I asked Enkei "Where are my caps?". Nothing in the box, so we'll see.

Great stuff. They'll look way neater than my massive security lumps! ps If anyone wants some free new Enkei valves let me know. I went for understated black stubby jobs today. So these are now spare. The other three are still sealed in their packs...  IMG_6039 by s_worksair, on Flickr |

Apparently the "racing series" don't come with centre caps. They are going to order me some though.

I generally run without caps because it looks more motorsport. Less unsprung weight as well.  |

Those extra few grams saved really takes your game to another level huh?  |

My Enkei's are finally on. That was so fast compared to struggling with the normal nuts. Awesome tip, thanks Horney Still no pics though, as there is a cave large enough to house a family of bears under my arches. It looks like I'm about to tackle the Paris Dakar. Still, not long until that gets sorted too. |
