BigSeed Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 thats good and did you get locking wheel nuts as well obviously not same ones ive been looking for some external wheel nuts for a possible set of aftermarket alloys and came up with these : http://www.driftworks.com/gt50-steel-wheel-nuts-with-key-5-colours-available.html Yeah I saw those too, look the same pal, I was looking at the red ones from there...then I saw the red Muteki ones from Funky Power and they looked a better "fit" colour wise for the other red bits on my car...then bottled it and went black as my previous nuts were black! The red ones from driftworks looked more a pink-red so didn't want to risk it, but then it depends on who took the product shot and edited it for web - I'm a graphic/web designer so see the same product with two different colours of red...so played it safe with the black....you'll be ok with gold. As for locking nuts...didn't get any this time. The ones that came with the alloys were the short open ended tuner nuts where the key slides inside the nut...you get two keys, one smaller than the other My mechanic pal f*cked the key up for them last time with his air gun, and also banged the wrong key in the wrong size nut so that you could only take them off with the normal key anyway rendering the locking nut a normal nut on all corners...so that was another reason...the keys are cheap...and my pal is only used for shit I can't be arsed doing now ...another lesson learnt. My wheels weren't that expensive plus I've a camera pointing at it 24/7 when at home. The ones I bought were a 20pk so all same, far better quality...I have seen 16pks but the locking nut I saw is completely different looks wise...so there's another reason...I wanted them all to look the same haha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigSeed Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 yeah cheers for that info , i was looking and thought id get a set of these plus a good set of locking wheel nuts as the wheels im hoping to get is a £350 set of wolfrace asiatec jdms so would like them to be secure I've just been outside to test a theory...I don't think you'd be able to get these off without the key that comes with them anyway. You need a standard 19mm socket for the key but the key then slides over the slim nut allowing you to remove....just discovered it has two sizes and the original breaker bar that came with the Gen6 also fits the key Without socket you can see it has a step up/down so can accommodate two socket sizes You can't get a standard socket in the gap left between nut and lug hole...on my wheels that is, but I would suspect they are designed in that way for that purpose, among others. So I'm swaying towards not having the need for locking nuts...someone correct me if I'm wrong! Oh and here's a pic of the original "tuner" open ended nuts...rusting after 10months...another reason I wanted them off Chewed up key - I got a replacement for £2.95 delivered and that nearly went on me on the very last nut when swapping over...may have been slightly over tightened, but still they are poor. Everything about the Muteki nuts and key just feels 10x better quality... Just a note...the original nuts were part of a "free fitting kit" with the wheel/tyre bundle at £600...wheels £400 and £50 a corner for tyres., Nangkang or whatever they're called..so they aren't gonna be great.

BigSeed Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 They are both oem from the GT86, red and normal edition. Bought them second handed No good for a 5 speed gen 6 then...unless the centre cap could be replaced. Very nice though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
