   Right so i have a furio which came with steelies but ive got aftermarket alloys OZ summats.. what wheel nuts do i use?! i know the standard vtr and vts ones are flat but some people say the tapered ones you get with steelies are meant too be used with aftermarket wheels? Cheers

   I always thought that steelies came with flat nuts and vt alloys came with tapered? Not the other way round.
   
   But yeh, youll need tapered ones.

   just check they are long enough but should be ok if they fit the wheel properly

   Bolts for the steelies should be fine mate.
