Hi,
Can anyone tell me where I can buy a set of nuts for the spare, or another spare wheel for the Deli?
The spare I have has countersunk stud holes, whereas the four wheels on the Deli, have flanged holes.
I would like to use the same nuts for both, but cannot find a spare wheel advertised anywhere. any ideas?
Failing that I need to buy a set of wheel nuts to fit the spare (countersunk, 6 stud).

if you have the standard mitsi alloys your wheel nuts ahve flat washers on,
and your spare will be a steel, if this is the case then the alloy nuts will work 100% with the steel as the ends are tappered to suit the wheel.
I know as I have used the steel wheel as a spare. _________________ Regards

Not necessarily so. Some Mits alloy wheels, the pepperpot design for instance use the tapered nut (I.e. no washer). I had to get the washer type to fit my Pajero 6 spoke design wheels.
And yes, I too can confirm the Milners nuts (With washers) rust badly _________________
