Nuts for gun metal/anthracite wheels
Nuts for gun metal/anthracite wheels
So......I was wondering what others have done for their dark wheels?

Quick question. Just got hold of some TTE GT1 alloys which are dark grey/gun metal/anthracite ish in colour. Now obviously my silver nuts are going to stand out like a sore thumb. Had a look around Ebay and the net in general + asking halfords and my local motor factors and they have all turned up nothing but dark alloys and "no only silver wheel nuts.." response.

I also bought some black locking wheel nuts from McGard. Ultralite do some locking wheel nuts but they don't seem very secure to me.

The type of seat for the nuts depends on your wheels. Have a look at the mounting hole, and see how similar (or not) it is to the OEM wheels.

02-06-2016, 10:44 PM #7Dunno. My TTE Chicanes have a cone seat rather than the flat seat used on the OEM wheels. And the holes are very narrow too, so that's why I got some "tuner"-style nuts, and those ones have "internal drive" too, so basically there should be no risk of damaging the wheels with a wheel nut socket.

The nuts look very small - they seem fine but i hope theyre ok. Just need to get some locking nuts really now - but these nuts will be ok for a bit as they need a special, but pretty generic, key to get them off.
