I am pretty sure that there are wheel nuts in the same pack as the covers, so you can use those instead Well spin my nipple-nuts & send me to AlaskaCurrent Builds:McLaren MP4-23Finished007's Aston Martin DB5FinishedMillennium FalconR2-D2BTTF Delorean (Maybe)

I assumed that the spare wheel nuts we were supplied with were for the rear wheels

As far as I can tell, looking at the thread showing all the future parts, we should get another set of wheel nuts & covers when we get the rear wheels  Well spin my nipple-nuts & send me to AlaskaCurrent Builds:McLaren MP4-23Finished007's Aston Martin DB5FinishedMillennium FalconR2-D2BTTF Delorean (Maybe)

from what have seen the rears come with nuts as well so you have the option of using the front covers or not like others i will leave the covers off and use the nuts

Austin, you're right. Only the front has covers, what I meant is that we will get another set of nuts for the rear  Well spin my nipple-nuts & send me to AlaskaCurrent Builds:McLaren MP4-23Finished007's Aston Martin DB5FinishedMillennium FalconR2-D2BTTF Delorean (Maybe)

Wow check out the steering wheel. Looks great. And above the photo of the steering wheel is a rear wheel with two blue packages. What do you think the blue packages are?

I was thinking the same thing. Why would you give blue plastic bags?

From the Japanese site
1. Rear Wheel
2. Rear tire (right)
3. Silicone oil for tires
4. Plastic bags for storing tires
So I guess the oil is to get rid of the releasing agent admin mentioned some time ago about the tyres looking different from previous batches.
