anybody else out there running pugeot 505 alloys? I am wondering about where you get the right wheel nuts.

Yeah- I'm looking for some too. I heard something about VW nuts having the ball seats that we need. I'll let you know if I find a good source..

this should help out, but verify degrees needed for a 12x 1.25 sub stud against what a pugeot 505 turbo used on their alloys.

well I have found a place that will make exact replicas of peugeot nuts for 12.50 each + gst
http://www.galproeng.com.au/ they say it will take six weeks because of christmas and the platers going on holidays
I also found that there are adapters (washers) available from the 2009 empi volkswagen catalogue, on page 16
thanks for the replies, I am going with the galpro nuts, as I only want to replace the tatty ones.

Thanks for that I was just wondering if it was possible to get new ones. I originally got mine off the aussiefrogs forum, very helpfull bunch over there.

Having any issues with the offset of your pug wheels in the rear?
Cheers

The wheels stick just a little from the guards. If the car is full of gear and/or people and you go over a big bump or dip at speed the tyres will actually come up and hit the guards. Its only just hitting on the inside of the guards.

Did you end up getting the pug nuts 32ford?

I would like to buy a whole set and was wondering how you went with GalPro?

The Pug lugs are conical, no taper as such.

Just to show that one Pug nut is not the same as other Pug nuts - or studs.....
