it looks like the collars off whatever nuts/bolts that have been used previously have stuck to the wheels, i dare say with a little gentle persuasion they would probably come off

if there is only one hole on each wheel that has not got the collar on its probably because it was where a wheel locking bolt was previously used and was a different bolt hence the other 3 normal bolts are the only ones that left the collars on there

Could be right 2 wheels have 3 collars but 2 wheels have none at all but some may be either refurbed and not used or new . :cool!:

Look like cheap aftermarket pars :(

Ford never did bolts for the bigger holes, only nuts.

There were adapters available to use the smaller bolts with wheels for the bigger nuts. Rare as rocking horse sh!t and not available new @Ford.

Best and safest option imo is to use a stud conversion kit and genuine ford nuts.

I think these are a good option ,they fit fine and are made for the job and I can't see any advantage going to a stud conversion :cool!: If I went for stud conversion Id need a different set of nuts to fit pots or supersport alloys :doh:

Why would you need different nuts between pots and supersport wheels?

I use the same xr2 bolts on my supersport wheels as on my pots.
Bolts have a collar and the holes on both wheels are the same diameter.
You'd only need different nuts for the rs7 wheels.

Got the collars all tapped out and new bolts arrived but planning on getting them refurbed as they all have scrapes etc some of the backs look so clean they almost look new.bought a set of locking keys renault ones for the caps for 4 quid of ebay.

Looking a bit better now :cool!: One of my centre caps is alloy the rest are plastic so must be off another model :? few little marks on the back where they have picked up damage from tyre changing machine claws and a nick or 2 on the odd wheel where they picked up a knock but they are 30 year old wheels...
