The present invention provides an attachment arrangement for use in attaching at least one composite wheel to a mount using an elongate fastener element and a fastening nut which can be fastened on the elongate fastener element. The attachment arrangement is used with a composite wheel that includes at least one attachment aperture through which the elongate fastener element is inserted. The attachment arrangement includes a fastening washer having a fastening aperture through which the elongate fastener element can be inserted when in use. The fastening aperture includes a radially central fastening axis. The fastening washer also has a base configured to face a surface of the composite wheel about the attachment aperture. In addition, the fastening washer has a fastening side facing substantially axially outwardly from the attachment aperture. The fastening side includes at least one engagement surface configured to operatively engage a complementary portion of the fastening nut when the fastening nut is assembled on the elongate fastener element. The fastening arrangement also includes a sleeve which extends axially relative to the fastening axis outwardly from the base about the fastening aperture. The sleeve is configured to extend into the attachment aperture of the composite wheel. The sleeve also includes a distal end configured to be received in a complementary shaped sleeve aperture located in the mount or in an element located adjacent the mount.
