Wheel nuts


Vlad

Recommended Posts

Decided to get some new wheel nuts as my current ones doing my nuts in :lol:

Got this ones at the mo:

They quite good, but after few on and offs- paint scratches off and they go rusty:(

My mate donated my exact same set, so I thought ill just put 1 set on and re-paint other one...and just will keep swapping them! But after spraying 1 set-went to put them on and paint just comes off :(

So thought its time to invest in new bolts...

Anyone would recommend any that don't rust? :lol: and just black ones! And I'm guesting not aluminium ones like D1 as not fancy having to cut them off etc lol

In few words: black, strong, don't rust :D

Any advice/suggestions/links would be great :)

Another thing to note if you repaint them - put a layer of masking tape around them when fitting or removing, that'll protect from being scratched by the socket.

 

I'm actually after a set of orange tuner nuts with internal drive, this way I don't car if they get marked, because it'll be inside the nut.

I got some black mutekis off tarmac, look sweet and no sign of rust as yet.

They look quite good! How long u had them for and how many times you had them off and on? :)

 

Couple of months, been off once, seem fine. I think the masking tape trick is the key.

If you find a decent set please let me know as I'd be interested in some also.

Only ever found ones on eBay and too afraid of the quality, or lack there of, to take the plunge and buy some. Lots with branding and who knows if its real or not, plus its not unheard of for suppliers to lie about the alloy grade they're using.

 

Of course steel would be immeasurably better, but can't be anodised. Might just buy some internal drive tuners and paint them.

It's interesting to see a lot of people recommend Mutekis. Maybe I'm expecting a bit much but mine have been on the car for maybe a year, off once and are looking pretty rusty and shabby - last winter seemed to kill them :(

 

Tempted to go for some (admittedly much more expensive) Rays Duralumin nuts to replace them at some point.
