you can get nuts that have a hex head on them and use an allen key tool to tighten them up....
Like the red ones in the picture

Probably need a set of wheel nuts to suit, I use a spark plug socket, works well.

Rob, make sure you get some pics up once the wheels are on the car. We wanna see.
I had to buy a socket and extention when i put my 18's on. I think its a standard thing when you go to 18's. |
