Mods, Please shift this thread to Tyres and Alloys section. Many Palio owners have this same problem and together, we may find a good solution.

Whenever I meant nuts, it is infact screws! Yes, that is the major problem in Fiat Palio/Petras. How did I forget that??

Normally, Wheels are fitted onto the hubs by just hooking it to the nuts provided in the hubs and then bolt it until tight. In case of this car, there're no nuts/bolts you can hook your alloys onto. You have to depend on a special kind of holder designed by Fiat for their alloys/steel wheels. And again, this cannot be kept when we put new alloys so that has to be removed and so you have to hold the wheel in line with the screwing holes and slowly screw it in.
It is a good procedure because it actually helps us to build some good muscles!
And you cannot just screw in all the way inside. Remember! I told you in my first post about the ADJUSTING part right? That has to be sone carefully to make the car stay on the road. Very tedious job it is!
