Guys, i got a new question for ya...

With new I30 I ordered - purchased Safety Matrices (to prevent stealing of Al - discs) for Wheel Discs. I realised that on each wheel - on my Aluminium Wheel Discs there are only 4 matrices, but there are 5 spots for the matrices to be put.
I'd like to ask you - Does it have to be like that? Is it OK? Or should I have 5 matrices there?
Anyone has the same stuff on wheels (4 matrices put and 1 "looks-like-free" place)?

Attaching image of my wheels from the side - to show you what I am talking about - The "free" spot is on top left corner...Check it out and please let me know...

thanks,

On mine I have a locking wheel nut, 1 for each wheel.

Would that not be a better option?

Maybe 1 wheel nut is good (or better?) option for each of the wheels. I don't know exactly, but you must have different type of AL-discs. Can you please post a picture for better idea?

However - In my case - I have Al discs with 5 holes - am I right if I say I should have 4x5 nuts mounted on each of 4x5 holes?

Markusus,

You should have only one locknot per wheel and 4 ordinary nuts on the other studs. I think you are driving around with only 4 nuts on that wheel you posted a picture of. That is not a good idea. You need to have five nuts on each wheel. Like I said, 1 lock nut plus 4 ordinary nuts equals 5 nuts on each wheel.

I've just looked and I have 4 wheel nuts plus 1 locking = 5 nuts per wheel.

Unless one has been nicked!!!!
