Gday Steve,

Aparently the TRX rims require a different wheel nut that has a taper 
(like a normal nut) then an extended cylinder part (the shank bit) that 
extends further onto the stud. The shank part both locates the TRX 
wheel correctly and extends the number of stud threads holding the 
wheel on. I was told all this by a tyre place after running TRX rims on 
my 1600 with normal lugs for a couple of years - they said it was 
suprising the wheels hadnt fallen off because with normal nuts the 
wheels are only held on by 2 or 3 threads!!! When trying to source a 
set, I was told the 200B SX and pulsar ET mags use the same weird 
nut.

Hope that makes some sense - easy to see in real life but hard to 
describe :)
