Will my tapered open ended wheel nuts that I use for my starmag wheels be OK to use with Weller's? Thanks

Use std steel nuts with wellers. Dont use nuts for alloy wheels

Inspect the chamfer on the wheels and compare it to the chamfer on the wheel nuts. If is the same you can use them. If not then you can't. Simples 😊.

My tapered nuts seem to fit nice and snug into 2 of the wheels that have a different offset / deepness to the other two with no movement

The other two the nuts sit in and the hole does seem to have a taper to it but they don't sit in as snug as it did on the other two. Eg you could move the nut about abit like a joystick on a Xbox pad if you know what I mean

They usually use the original round nuts. These were used on the original steel wheels.

Posting a picture of a wheel will help but 10x6 wether they are triangle holes or oval hole wellers I would probable think they are as I have already stated
