iLott Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 I have just bought some new wheels and need myself some new wheel nuts! So I think I'd like to go for some coloured extended ones. Can anyone recommend me some that are decent quality but don't cost much as I'm on a fairly tight budget. Also pics welcomed of them on your cars Thanks in advance Dan Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave-350 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Driftworks. Don't skimp on wheel nuts as I know people that got cheap knock off D1 spec that snapped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Tarmac supplied me with Muteki SR48s with locking nuts as well. I'll take some photo's when I get them fitted along with my new brakes, probably won't be for a few weeks though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

parello9 Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Muteki super tuners in stock black or chrome http://tarmac.silver...kiSTClosed.aspx do they stick out the wheel so you can see them? or sit flush? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianphampton Posted July 25, 2013 Share Posted July 25, 2013 Chris - on an engineering point - your site says "M12 x 1.25 inch Thread Size" on the Nissan version I think you mean they are M12 x 1.25mm pitch, rather than 1.25 inch (The Honda / Mits is probably M12 x 1.5 mm pitch as well, rather than 1.5 inch) Sorry to be picky . . . .but we gotta get the engineering right as well as the looks!

iLott Posted July 25, 2013 Author Share Posted July 25, 2013 (edited) Driftworks sounds good. How long are the muteki ones Tarmac?

Jites Posted July 26, 2013 Share Posted July 26, 2013 I use dirt cheap steel nuts on extended studs. The longer wheel nuts driftworks sell are great, good quality, steel and come in a boss neochrome finish if your after the looks, cost effective and safe (most important imo ) IMO alloy shouldnt be anywhere under load or stress, it just isnt up to the task regardless who makes them. that goes for tie rod ends as well and thats from experience. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No first hand experience with them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
