Show us your nuts!

[wj51fut]

I have just been to Rare Rims to pick up some tyres and spoke to Juliyan and Kevin there.

Juliyan came up with having the internal drive wheel nuts that use a spliced fitting rather than a hex pattern (as these tend to rust and crack) also he mentioned about aluminium nuts and that they don't like to be torqued too high as they can 'bond' to the stud (which I guess is why they are band from Motorsport)

The other option he came up with is get a normal (not standard) set and use a plastic bag over the nut before you use the tool/ratchet on it! Weird but clever.

If your that bothered take your standard ones to a powder coating company and get them coated in any colour you want.

The coating is durable, long lasting and it's cheaper than buying these fancy homo looking ones!

Regardless what nuts they are, they are going to be scratched at some point when taking the wheels off, but at least the powder coating will last longer than paint.

...anyway they are wheel nuts!

Standard wheel nuts don't fit (correctly) with aftermarket wheels mate!

Internal drive is a good point Adam!

They never gonna scratch on the outside, lol.

 

[Mark_teg]

I have internal drive at the moment. I'll take a photo tomorrow..
Are there any internal drive mutekis?

 

[PORTHOS]

No idea, I can't seem to find any but know when it comes to internal drive, you want quality ones, otherwise you might not get them off again, lol.

Gok you legend! I literally had a 2nd page loaded up on MyTyres with a checkout of 4 tyres, but when you said Rare Rims I decided to check them out before proceeding, 1 phone call later and you've just saved me £30 :xpimpdaddy: :xrockout: :xnworthy: :wub: [-o<
