18" Wheels (Spider style)

[hatchn]

Hi Guys,

I'm due to pick up my Tamora in a week or so.
It's one of the first ones out of the factory with the optional 18" Alloys as fitted on the Tuscan and Cerbera.
I was just wondering if anyone had found a set of locking wheel nuts that fit these wheels.

Cheers,
Nick

Sorry dont think anyone has locking nuts on the spiders?!?!?
I have the spiders on my cerbera - anyone know the psi for these? Just had them fitted and they came back at 26lbs all round (as opposed to the old 18s at 22 and 24). 22 at the front might be too little ?!?!

This is going to sound a bit silly but with such skinny section (depth) tires you may find the psi needs to be more than below.

Never really knew what to put in the 18" spider wheels on my cerb, but the Porsche 18" wheels need to be high 30's / backs at 44psi supposedly according to the handbook and the dealer!

Should they be any different from the normal 18" alloys? The manual states 22 front, 24 rear or 25/28 for sustained high speed or fully laden. For performance driving, 28 all round.

Surely you need 28 all round then

I went for the optional 18" wheels on my Cerbera, but I don't know if they are spiders or not (cringe). If somebody checks my profile, could they tell me the style of wheels I've got? Anyway, the garage mechanic at Logik stated 24 at the front and 26 at the back for the wheels on my car.

You have spider wheels. The original 18 inch wheels were different offset and width - this means that the front tyres on spiders are 'stretched' to fit the rim. I really feel that 22/24 will be too low.
