I currently have mags on my van and want to put my stock wheels on. I only have the mag wheel nuts at the moment.

I had a quick look online and found mini wheel nuts for just under $5 each.

Q1 - is this std pricing or could someone suggest where to get them from?

Q2 - Is there a danger using second hand ones?

If I have to spend $80 for nuts alone, I might just spend that money on new wheels / tyres.

Thanks in advance!

That is how it goes when you buy any wheels without wheelnuts. it is highway robbery....


Yes you can use 2nd hand wheel nuts.
Just like a normal nut you need to check the thread is in good condition and not stripped or threaded which is pretty uncommon anyway.
