Hi all
 
On the weekend i won a set of 13 x7 Capri alloys off ebay and they are in great condition. Only drama is they didnt come with nuts and they require a tapered seat wheel nut but seems larger than any normal one i have come across? it looks like a normal 60 degree angle but the actual holes for the nuts are much larger and require a larger diameter taper (around 28mm) has anyone else got these rims and know if there is any locally sourced wheel nuts i can buy? or should i look to the UK?
Heres a link to rims similar to what i got

and would i need these wheel nuts??

Hi Matty, The Burton nut are the correct nut , I have them on my '87 Mk3 Capri it has similar wheels only 15". Safest would be to get correct nut from them.
Don't know of any local ford with them.
Cheers, Carl

Hi Carl
 
Thanks for that mate, closest wheel nut i have found to the capri one is a ford focus one but it only has the taper and not the small locating shank.

I think ill just order some from burtons so there the correct ones
 
Thanks for the help mate
