I went and picked up my new wheels, Axis Crux 18", at a local store today. When I asked to buy 16 lug nuts in 14mm x 1.25 size, they told me they don't have them in that size. I want to use the Axis to replace the OEM crown spoke wheels when I take delivery, can I just use the OEM lug nuts instead? When I sell the crown spoke wheels, would people EXPECT the wheels to come with lug nuts? I look under the wheel selling forum and don't see too many posts mention lug nuts are included.

My other question is that the new Axis wheels come with a locking center cap on each wheel, but there is no locking screws anywhere. Do they usually come with the wheels or I have to buy those separately? I didn't look for them in the store when I pick them up, and by the time I got home it was too late to call the store. I only thing I found in the box are 4 hubcentric rings to fit the mini. Thanks in advance!

 

You should be able to use your old lug nuts with those rims. The only time someone would expect to get lug nuts in a sale is when the lugs are funky or not normal. I have a set of Axis Milano's on my Lexus and the lug nuts are super tiny and use a hex head key to install. Very wierd setup. When I sell those rims I'll have to sell it with the lug nuts.

 

Great, thanks! I emailed Axis about the screw for the center cap. They told me it is just a regular philip screw. I still found it strange that they give you the cap but not the screw for it. I am trying to look for an aftermarket screw for it. So far all the ones I found are 8mm screws. I found a screw in the garage that will fit and it is closer to 3mm or 3/16". So far, I have no luck finding a matching locking screw for it.
