BBS CH on S3- Which locknuts?

[PaulAr]

Just fitted a set of 18" BBS CHs (cheers to Spin140:thumbsup and as you would expect the studs that came with the wheels are longer to accomodate the different offset.
Also they have a straight taper on the `seat` section of the stud, where as the OEMs have a radius.

So, how do I get a set of locking nuts to suit this new arrangement?

Thanks guys.

Paul

Unfortunately i've just sold a set, otherwise i could have helped you out.

Speak to Rimstyle or Phil @ PW Motorsport as i'm sure they'll be able to sell you a set.

Thanks mate.

Did you notice that the OEMS studs and longer versions for the new rims have a different shaped seat?

Yes BBS are taper seats and Audi OEM are radius seat. Didn't notice that the length was different to be faif.

Nice to see you doing more mods

Yes mate, it is very moreish this modding lark.

Just a shame the S3s clutch is so poor or I would be looking at more power. Stage 2+ is very tempting.
Hopefully I will get a go in a SACHs equipped car at Inters to see what the pedal feels like and decide whether its a future mod.

This could get expensive.
Cheaper than buying a new car though.

Kinda hoping thats the cause.
I have `bumper to bumber` most days so needs to be fairly traffic friendly.
