Grundy Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 They're @*!# Look at what happens after changing the wheels a couple of times... Not worth the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chubby Ninja Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Mine seized on the studs and snapped and twisted trying to get them off. Had to end up getting them drilled out. I'd never buy alloy nuts again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry I just realised these new ones are steel, might be worth a shot They'll turn out like the ones I pictured above. Would touch Driftworks wheel nuts after seeing at first hand how long they last. Give Tarmac's a go, or pay more Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Payco Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 Multeki all the way.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grundy Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 What's wrong with the ones above? Look at the paint, it gets scuffed and ruined within a couple of times taking the wheels off. That's with the tool driftworks supply with them too :/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spatt Posted April 2, 2015 Author Share Posted April 2, 2015 What's wrong with the ones above? They delaminate, that is the colour tends to strip from the metal... have you ever used a cheap chrome spanner thats started to "peel" its sharp as hell and looks horrid. mine have all rusted too ! Just thought when you see these in good condition it was because they where brand new. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobPhoboS Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I would have thought any anodized or painted ones are going to chip/peel no ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevoD Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 (edited) Wheel nuts arent supposed to be removed as often as I'm guessing Ian's where Edited April 2, 2015 by StevoD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pjf1985 Posted April 2, 2015 Share Posted April 2, 2015 I got my Titan neo chrome nuts from ebay but think they're the same make as from Driftworks? The paint is coming off mine too, not from removing the nuts but its just fading away. Not great but they do the job perfectly well besides that.
