As beautiful as they are, it's time to get rid of the wheel nuts that came with the 86 rover when I bought her. Sad I know.

I've got an order coming from minispares and can't for the life of me work out which nuts to add to my cart. There are so many nuts!

Any idea if these would work? '84 on it says...

Or would these rover sports pack ones work?

Any advice would be much appreciated as I am completely lost.

Thanks :)

they look right, but take off one of your current nuts and have a look/post a picture - any new nuts you get need to match the way the current nuts seat in the wheel

maybe a clearer photo of the writing on your wheel would help

and the UK forums might be a good place to ask too

They look to be Australian made "Performance" brand wheels. As mentioned above the nuts need to suit the wheels and won't necessarily be the same as the stock car.

Thanks for the tip.
Are these the clubman ones?

Funnily enough, if I search for that one on minispares it says:
"Classic mini part 'aha8785' - is No Longer Available. Please see new part number(s) cn2."

Which is of the ones I linked above.

Confusion continues. Might contact performance, and will try and get that close up pic too

Great thanks I'll have a chat to MK tomorrow.

Just added another photo of the wheel closer up, unfortunately couldn't get the nuts off, on too tight!

Does it help with the choice?

You'll need to know what the seat on the nuts/wheels are like. They could be round, tapered etc.

If your nuts are on too tight you'll never be able to get your spare on either. Make sure they aren't done up with a rattle gun at a tyre shop, that's a good way to snap the wheel studs!

Ah thanks, sorry total noob here, it's slow progress.

I'll see if I can pop one off tomorrow and have a look. Thanks again!

Finally found the time and got there in the end.

Hard to see on the photo of the wheel but it sort of tapers in at the end, like a funnel.
You can see it better on the nut that I took off.

It looks to me like the CN2 nuts (which I think are the updated listing for the old clubman ones mentioned above) will fit.
Anyone agree or disagree?

My 12 inch superlites use lug nuts similar to these - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/16-PCS-3-8-2 ... 1c6ee5492b which I believe are the "OEM" for super lights, have a look at your threads Lug nut king has a good selection.

Edit - these are the locknuts I have - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/LOCK-NUTS-MI ... Swv-NWT~Ov

Thanks for the reply and the link.
Is that $16.95 for one wheel?
What's the long one in the centre of the pic?!

The second link is for locknuts, Usually only 1 per wheel, the part in the middle is the "key". The set includes 4 nuts.
