I've got my wellers going on this week, but i haven't got any steel wheels nuts. Will alloy ones do the job or do I need steel nuts?

You must always use the correct nuts for the wheel. If not, there is a high risk of fatigue cracking around the holes, which is obviously dangerous, and ruins the wheels. The correct torque matters too, NEVER slack obviously, but too tight is also damaging.

I just rang mini spares who wasn't very helpful at all. Does anyone know which ones I'll need? I've got 10x6 wellers.
I was thinking either item code: CN1 or CN2 from mini spares.

pretty sure my wellers seemed to fit these http://www.minispare...id=37307&title= best. Same as the standard steels.

I'd go with the CN1's on a 6x10 Weller, the larger setaed ones from memory don't sit as well
