Biggy Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 I assume you have aftermarket wheels fitted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev 16v Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 (edited) Whether there's a better option depends on the size of the holes in your Rims, there will be loads in M12 x 1.5 for sale on eBay.

shocks Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 i would buy better, its your wheel and i dont trust alot of un named brands even more so if its holding my wheels on, try ultralite or blox wheel nuts. but that is just my opinon.

Boynxdoor Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 I always go for steel nuts as i'm not very confident with alloy nuts holding my wheels... The thread on alloy nuts can easily damage... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rpsmith79 Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Funnily enough, i have a set of these on order at the moment, the main reason i went for them is that they were the only coloured steel tuner nuts i could find, all the other i found were aluminium and i have heard too many horror stories about ali nuts failing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keef-b Posted October 10, 2011 Report Share Posted October 10, 2011 (edited) I got my tuner nuts from driftworks - they are just plain chromed steel but as mentioned above i wasn't too keen on getting aluminium/alloy tuner nuts when you read the horror stories with regards to them sheering and leaving half the nut stuck to the stud. Driftworks also do a matching set of lockers too link to driftworks shop / tuner locking nuts link to driftworks shop / chromed steel tuner nuts On searching for the links i've just spotted they do these in a black finish aswell as the chrome.

harv_j Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 (edited) Clicky Iv been having a look at these (the black ones) for a while now but not sure if they would look a bit tacky on my Tsport wheels.

Kev 16v Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 Clicky Iv been having a look at these (the black ones) for a while now but not sure if they would look a bit tacky on my Tsport wheels. I wouldn't fit those on Toyota Rims, as TS Rims have a flat, rather than a tapered hole designed to be secured by a washer. OK for after market Rims though.

kny Posted October 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 like the two-tone nuts but why so long, (These racing quality lug nuts are extra long for quick and easy installation and removal) wont they look a bit daft?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sawyer Posted October 13, 2011 Report Share Posted October 13, 2011 I wouldn't bother with Alu nuts again. I've taken my wheels off 6 or 7 times and they are already knackered. I'll be buying steel in future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
