have got some Chelsea Alloy Wheels with brand new 165/60/12 tyres for the winter (Normal wheels are 5.5"x13" with Yokohama A048R tyres) but have no nuts for the alloys. So what nuts do I need for the Chelsea alloys. I know its not the standard steel nut because they are alloys but which nuts do I need?

Not all alloy wheel nuts are the same.

There are ones for

Mamba's
Momo's
ATS & BWAs
Mini Special

Just to name a few

My 13" Alloys are Team Dynamics 5.5"x13". They are a very unusual nut. However the 12" Alloys are Rover Standard Fit (for the Chelsea etc) and I dont have the nuts for em.

The 12" steel wheel use's steel nuts which shouldn't be used with alloy wheels.

What I need to know is if the standard nuts used for the Rover 12" Minilight Alloy will fit my Chelsea Alloys?

As far as I know their are over 15 types of nut for Mini Alloy wheels.

Some are sleever and some have a radius washer type as well.
