I'm gonna buy some new wheel nuts within the next week as my standard ones are beginning to corrode.

Can you post up pics of your aftermarket items, inc details.. colour, size (length), cost

thanks,

Matt :)

Here are mine;





They are branded RIGID (same as my strutbrace). Came with the car, so not sure on cost. They are very lightweight, but also grubby and marked :lol:

I would prefer a dark coloured set, but as these work fine, I wont be changing yet.

If you are gonna keep the OE wheels, then there will be only certain ones you can use. A lot of aftermarket wheel nuts have a different taper, and wont seat properly with the OE wheels. Someone else may be able to explain it properly!

Can you get any of the lighter coloured wheel nuts that will be useable with the standard DC5 wheels?
I haven't seen any. I'd be interested in some black OEM style ones myself, so if you do find some let us know :)

For the benefit of the other guys - the OEM nuts & wheels have a convex/concave mating surface whereas aftermarket wheels have a straight taper. So you don't want to use the Buddyclub/Rays ones with OEM wheels.
