Not sure, but I know that the correct Mcgard part number is 24157

Not sure, but I know that the correct Mcgard part number is 24157

does anyone know if this part number is the same for a VR4????

Don't know, but Evo nuts are the same as VR4 nuts. Sorry - that's probably not helpful!

12mm

[ritch_w]

so they are 12mm and same as an evo - wheres the best place to get them?

Halfrauds do McGuards. Bloke on Fleabay does Wolfrace flavour, but they're open-ended. Under a tenner though, as compared to 35ish for McGuards.

I haven't found any McGuards on the net for cheaper than Halfrauds once you take delivery into account.

Don't forget you also have to take into account the taper / cone angle of the nuts as well as the thread size, all alloy wheels should come with their own wheel nuts to suit the internal taper of the wheel otherwise you will not be able to torque them down correctly and risk having them come loose again.........
