So I got my awesome new (to me) 14" stockers, with lug nuts and BFG's. Sweet setup! I put on the rear and it looks awesome. On to the front. Undo the lugs and, wtf, I've got lug BOLTS on the front! And the wheels came with 20 lug NUTS!
How could this have happened? Why was I not informed? This... is an outrage!!
Well, not really. I'm new to these vans. All this talk of rheinos and meraudi-benzos frightens and confuses me, so it's no wonder I hit a few surprises. Just figured I'd alert future newbs by posting this message with "14-inch stock alloy rim lug nuts bolts" somewhere in the body. To the newb who just searched on those keywords: Non-syncros have lug nuts on the front and bolts on the back. Syncros have nuts all around.
BTW, the caps for the stock alloys are kinda flimsy huh? They don't fit very tightly-- I'm afraid of losing them. Do you guys secure them with bluetac or what?
Anyway, does anybody want to trade 10 nuts for 10 bolts? _________________ Tennessee Sombrero
