right i have done a couple tracks day and driven on a couple of my favourite quite country roads and on two occasions my front passenger front wheel has came looseShock once on brands hatch and once on the public road. the wheels at the moment are some tsw multi spoke with spigotAngry not sure if it is the spigots that are causing them to come loose or not.
to be honest the bolts i have at the moment aren't really the best so i was just thinking which to go for???? i would only get the conversion for the front wheels tho

suggestions???

*yes the wheel bolts were tight for you smart assesRazz*

neither should come loose so you have an issue that nees resolving,

is there any movement at all on the spigot?

the wheel nuts loose? maybe tge bolt or hub has an issue?

Do you have the right type of bolts for your wheels?

yeah i have the right bolts checked these. i think it must be the spigot then the passenger front one does come on/off easier than the rest. mite have to swap the rings around and see. but still thinking of studs only thing is i use both the cyclones and tsw's

I have the exact same issue with mine. Had a wheel come off at silversone.

I need to order some new bolts, and Im going to clean out all the threads.

Funny enough its the front passenger and its happened a few times now.

I don't see how the spigot rings could cause it but are the bolts long enough?

I had the proper OZ spacer kit with 50mm bolts on my superleggeras and although they didn't come loose it caused a clonking under braking because they were only in a few turns.

Swapped the bolts for studs and nuts and it's been fine since.
