Wheel nuts

[smudgedon]

OK, time for some new wheel nuts

 

Want some fairly long ones, and preferably a fairly small socket fitment. My ones at the moment require a 21mm socket and I've marked my wheels slightly due it being extremely tight (insert sexual innuendo here). So preferably something with 19mm to avoid damaging the wheels further

 

As for colour, I think a simple black would suffice

 

Any recommendations? Don't want to spend an absolute fortune, but want a decent set for my money

[Dblock]

Not the best for a few reasons but what about the internal drive ones or whatever they are called? the special socket goes into the lug rather than around?

 

Kinda like this

 

But they have alot of downsides. Also try to invest if you haven't got one, one of these :

Got one of those, the holes on my BuddyClub wheels are so tight though so the plastic covered one doesn't fit

[The Bounty Bar Kid]

Plastidip the socket?

[HaydnH]

I'm going to keep posting pictures of these until I manage to buy some!

Masking tape round the socket if the plastic cover won't fit

[smudgedon]

Still want new wheel nuts anyway though guys...any suggestions?

Tuner nuts? I have them on my car for same reason and this star key thing goes into them then a socket round it after,they are uniquely made to the key so like having 20 locking nuts lol

I've got one of these mate, pretty good! And got that key to remove it - so u dont scratch your wheel

I had them on for just over a year now, no problems so far, apart from I did take my wheels off and on quite few times - so they(wheel nuts) got scratched inside and start slightly rusting...but at that price - just get 2 sets...once one starts to rust, put new set on and re-spray old set! My mate just gave me same set for free, and his is brand new...so they are on the car now...and will respray my old set so it ready for swap in the future! If you local to me(Leamington spa) - feel free to pop around and try out my 2nd set, see if you like them

I think it's a good choice! They are made of steel so should be pretty strong... And as I said I had them for over a year and took them off tens of times - and there are no signs of that they will fail any time soon

[smudgedon]

Cheers guys

I was looking at these in gold, but they also do them in your favourite colour (and black)

 

 

These are a 17mm hex so no problem with aftermarket wheels and are chrome vanadium (steel) as well so they should be a bit better and safer than the usual aluminium ones. These weigh 2oz and the aluminium ones only weigh 0.7oz so there's quite a bit of difference.

Also this site has a few stunning ones but its in the states.

They look perfect, thanks

 

Can't really get purple nuts for purple wheels though, black will have to do

[smudgedon]

Hmmm....black or neo chrome?

[Arran]

After all the stories/experiences of alloy nuts, what il probably do it buy some standard wheel nuts from Nissan and get them painted in the colour of choice, that way you've no worries of sheering etc and have the look of alloy ones

Muteki seem to be well rated, plus the 17mm is perfect as I won't wreck my wheels

[kiingsi]

I would go for neo chrome personally make them stand out. plus they look and expensive

[Arran]

Seen done threads about Muteki on skyline forums. Seems the same about all alloy nuts really, I'm not going to bother with them

[kiingsi]

I would say that these are ok they look like cheap alloy ones but they are steel not aluminium so I don't see why they wouldn't be up to the same standard as normal steel wheel nuts? there actually made out of stronger steel.

Rays nuts are the strongest I believe.

[ioneabee]

and I bet you would say that 'cos "Ray" told you so

No I believe Wasso was telling me how much he rates rays nuts. Saying how strong yet lightweight they were.

Gold on purple would look hotttt
