    Has anyone on here converted their R56 from wheel bolts to nuts. I change my wheels quite regularly so I was planning on doing it just to speed up the process as well as my rotas using spigot rings which can make it a pain to line up the holes. Thansks.

    Done it to my R53, does make it easier to get wheels on and off


    Feet were made to fit car pedals. If we were meant to walk, we'd have pogo sticks for legs
