Extended wheel nuts

[sloutrou]

Hi all,

 

Anyone have any suggestions as to where I could buy some extended wheel nuts (in the UK, possibly!)

 

I've had a look on eBay and the ones on there look a bit cheap to be honest, I like the look of the Volk Racing ones which are silver with an inner red core, just wondered if I could find some by searching under a different name or something.

 

Thanks

I've found these:

Is 12x1.5 correct, I have no idea?

I think it's M12 x 1.25!

D1 Spec do long ones. Watch out for fakes on eBay though.

Tarmac can provide Muteki SR48's:

Don't get aluminium ones, there was a car at trax yesterday which turned into a 3 wheeler when his aluminium D1 wheel nuts gave up under braking on the main straight. There was a LOT of damage to the car from the wheel going up into the arch.

The black corsa with ap brakes and a ****ed nsf corner? Looked nasty!

 

Im ordering the demon tweeks steel tuner nuts, gets the look of the alloy ones but the strength of steel plus they are gold like I want and have a special tool to remove so a bit safer than just plain

 

also do green as im sure someone was looking for some

The Muteki's above are steel and include a locking nut, not that you'd notice.

Yeah! Did you notice the flat spot on his BRAKE DISK?! I got some pictures I'll chuck up later.

 

The thing is, the car was really well done, even for a corsa. Some good suspension, brakes and wheels/tyres. Had a decent seat and harness combo and a full stripped out interior. I can't remember if he had a roll cage or not, but he was fully prepared to go on track....except for his cheapo aluminium wheel nuts :shrugs:
