I am in the process of purchasing aluminum alloy wheels for my Nissan Versa. I have been having too much difficulty with hub caps falling off, etc. If I purchase the alloy wheels, at the same 15" size, is there anything that I need to know regarding safety? Also what kind of lug nuts should I purchase so that they match the alloy wheels? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi there,

If you purchase the same size rim & suitable tyre you will not have an issue, as for the wheel nuts, this will depend on the type of rim you get, but they will come with the correct nut, if not your tyre retailer will be able to advise, also i would get a set of tamper proof nuts as well, this will lessen the risk of them being stolen.
