Currently have white OEM alloys on atm… not sure if this would be a good colour match or not...

Have been tempted to give the alloys a powder coat like these http://s1287.photobucket.com/user/JezW1/media/1IMG_1440-1_zps8dd8935e.jpg.html
as my alloys are looking pretty tired now.


opinions guys?

I believe these are Tapered seat wheel nuts and as such I wouldn't recommend using them with OEM wheels due them being a Ball Seat fitment.

Some people run tapered wheel nuts on OEM wheels but I personally wouldn't as it may cause issues over time due to the different seat fitments.

Just my 2p worth.

Nice colour though

Are those that kind of fitment required?

If you read the "Product Information" about fitment it says Taper.

Alot of the ads say they will fit but then say to check your own fitment. Almost ALL aftermarket wheel nuts are not designed to fit OEM wheels hence why most people either upgrade their wheels or buy a new set of silver or black nuts.

Similar specs to these - Clicky and Clicky

Okay dude cheers, il go for those silver ones then… you said similar specs? do you mean even they are not quite right for OEM. the ones you posted?

Sorry when I say similar I meant that yes they would work but you might be able to get them cheaper/different set if you didnt want the locking nuts.

These are correct fitment but you might be able to shave a few bob off by searching further than i did (literally pulled first ad from my eBay search).
