Thanks Plassy, I am going to call my Nissan dealer this morning to find out what their company recall was all about and what the company engineering decision was. I also need to have a closer look at the hole configuration in the rim to see if it it machined to suit a stepped nut such as this. Is the pic of the stepped nut off a GU alloy or the tri star GQ alloy?
