hey ive recently put 17" diablo racer wheels on my car and i used my old nuts from my old rims. The problem im having is the cover for the bolts wont fit onto the wheel.The nuts seem to be to big. So i went to my local wheel shop at granville and they said they'll try the smallest nuts, and that didnt even fit so they told me there is nothing smaller than the nuts the just tried. The thing is ive seen heaps of integras with diablo wheels + the cover for the bolts around. Is there anywere someone can recoomend me to go to fix this problem? or anyone with an integra rolling on diablos? how many mm's are the bolts you are using?

simple pends on how far out you are...
if its minor, get spacers and space the wheel frm the hub out then fit em on.

These are 18"s aren't they?

I don't like chrome wheels, matter of fact I don't know how anyone can.

you can get shorter lugnuts....usually open ended ones.

Look around tyre shops or big w / k-mart etc .
