Help!

I just got my new wheels yesterday (I call them new, I got them used from a friend), and the bolts that I have with the stock 7-spokes won't fit! The bolts are 21mm I think, and they go on, but there's no room for the wrench to go in the holes to tighten them down! I need wheel locks anyways, is there a type of bolt that uses an alan wrench or something that slip IN the bolt instead of AROUND the bolt?

Re: Help!

Yes, you are correct the alan wrench thing. . . People call them tuner lugs. Local autoparts stores should carry them. The thread size should be something like M12x1.5

Don't stress it's cool.

Re: Help!

Thanks man! I've been sooo excited about these, it's honestly my very first set of aftermarket wheels and they've been sitting in my room waiting for rubber for about a month now waiting for rubber. I just got 'em back yesterday from a friend who mounted 'em for me and I finally get the B jacked up at home and find that my lugs won't work! So I was bummed...time for a quick trip to auto zone!

Also check here: http://www.gorilla-auto.com/ You can get those from e-bay too.
Mine are McGard: http://www.mcgard.com/automotive/ - the best thing IMO.
