Gurus,
I am about to install a Cup wheel and hub to my car.
Take a look at the pic up here. I am improvising the installation using some "shortened" screws from a former Momo wheel installation as the kit I received did not come with any.
Should I be installing some nuts to the screws holding the wheel to a relatively thing hub lip?
Loctite?
OK as is?
How were the wheels supposed to be attached?

From the picture, there appears to be at least as many threads IN the flange as there are sticking out the back side. The thickness of flange material that is holding the screw seems to be as thick as a nut would be.
If these two comments/observations are accurate, you should be fine; there seems to be plenty of grip. You could add a drop of Locktite... just because it's the right thing to do (in my line of work, every fastener is locked with wire, or self-locking, so I can't help myself).
Not a guru though

You should be fine.. A dab of loctite is sufficient. As Slow's illustration indicates, there is no need for a Nut..
Good Luck
