Steel rims – type 1 wheel nutsSteel rims are normally secured using type 1
wheel nuts, although these rims may also be
secured with type 2 nuts.

wheels. This could cause the wheel to come
loose.
Aluminum wheels – type 2 wheel nutsOnly type 2 wheel nuts can be used for alumi-
num wheels.

wheels.
Lockable wheel nutIf steel wheels with lockable wheel nuts are
used in combination with wheel covers, the
lockable wheel nut must be fitted to the stud
nearest the air valve. The wheel cover cannot
otherwise be installed on the wheel.
