Hey people,

I've just treated myself to a set of 4 Cobra Supaslots. While I'm waiting for thenm to arrive I've been looking for some centres but can't seem to find any that fit.

Do they only take those chrome thimble looking inserts or can you just get centre caps that fit? I'm not sure on the size of the hole yet as I've not received them.

I also need some sleeved nuts, which have a taper on them, any clues again?

I've searched and searches but.....nothing.

Cheers.

Dinner break bump.

I checked at weekend on my 12" cobra supaslots.
I am half way though stripping them back to start polishing them up.

looks like you can use normal mini wheel nuts, which have the inbuilt washer.
maybe different on the 10's though.

Cheers for that pal. The ones ive bought are painted black at the moment so once they arrive.....and I get time at work to clean out the blasting cabinet ill get them back to bare metal ready for a polish. What size is the centre home on your 12's?

 

Cheers

I'll check at weekend for u. But the cooper centres as pictured on the minilights where way too small.

A bit of a thread bump but I've had the refurbed and got my yoko's on them. I'm struggling to find wheel nuts for them. It would appear, as the hole the wheel stud goes through is pretty big that I'm going to need sleeved wheel nuts. Am I right in thinking this? The wheels have a radius seat so would I need to fit a specific washer under flat sleeved bolt heat?

I'm looking to get the car an mot next week so need to sort this ASAP.

Thanks.

Nice one pal. Cheers

Hi mate can't figure out how to post pictures in a pm. The pics attached show the sleeved nuts and washer. As per my pm, the washers only have a slight dome or rad on the top side, they're flat on the underside. On the other pic you can see the slight counter bore in the face of the wheel. This is also flat though

Cheers for the help mate. As you can see from my photo (I know wheel is on the wrong side) your wheel nut seat is flat but mine is radius.

So I don't think I can use the flat washer like you've got.

It would appear after a chat with an ebay seller and a closer inspection that my alloys would have originally had a flat seat. However they seem to have been used with the incorrect wheel nuts (radius type), causing them to change shape. Some holes are just starting to form a tear drop shape on the seat.

 

What a pain in the bottom, eh!
