Apologies if this is in the wrong section.

 

I brought a set of the old 10 x 6 KN Mercury wheels not too long ago, and I'm looking to refurb them and start using them, however, I've run into a problem.  I dont know what wheel nuts can be used! I originally thought the standard 60 degree taper nuts could be used, but upon looking at the nut face, it doesn't look correct for them.  I seem to rember a thread where inserts are used? Anyone shed any light on it please?

A round radius taper or anything used on a standard 10" steel wheel should work.

They look like the same curved seat as my ATS classics which use these nuts. Clicky

Cheers guys, I'll order some of those :-).  Funnily enough, my set of ATS classics use the standard 60 degree taper nuts fine!

ok, bringing this up again, after cleaning up a couple of wheels, I notice that one has two things missing from behind the wheel nut hole, some sort of insert?

 

Here is what it should look like;
