Work Wheel Nuts

[ITZTRU]

As stated in topic description...can single work wheels nuts be purchased somewhere? if so, anyone know where? or can they be re-threaded somehow? My cousin f**ked one up trying to put it back on my car while "HELPING" me put one of my wheels back on while I was on the other side putting the other on...

...pfft..."some" help indeed.

i dont particularly wanna have to buy a whole set for another 200 bucks or so, just so i can use ONE.

Thanks in advance

i would try ask a supplier and ask.. if not try get in touch with the manufacturer and see if you can't get a hold of a rep or something.. say that they are for "show" use and ur wanting to keep it all "work" related rims.. might prick their ears up and maybe.. just maybe you could get a response

if not.. give ur cousin some work's wheel nuts for xmas

buy a set of lock nuts.

Then you have 3 extra work nuts.

and you rims are safe

Well yeah, but then it looks kinda ghey coz each wheel has four red nuts and one silver or whatever color they end up being...

I am interested. I am also interested in finding WORK Valve caps (anodised blue) if they can be purchased anywhere.

get a $2 can of spray paint and paint them. 2 or so coats of sealer.. and just be careful when you take the bolt out to not chip the paint

[ITZTRU]

that's a bit hard...already used a rattle gun on the work nuts and even the work nuts have started chipping... oh well...

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

you used a rattle gun on $200 nuts... dooood!

my rays nuts still look nice btw... all TWENTY of them

go buy yourself a torque wrench and have it set to about 100nm and then you will be fine for next time

and yeh liek Hamish said, you used a rattle gun on $200 wheels nuts????

I still have trouble believing that people spend 200 dollars on wheel nuts :S

*sigh* PLEEEEEEEASE...don't get me started...i'm pissed off enough as it is...

bah...i'll explain...

got defected...too low...so removed exhaust to gain clearance but still too low...jacked up car to adjust coilovers, but had an extremely hard time doing so...and coz I was extremely sick (and still am) I just couldnt muster the strength to keep trying.

...so called my suspension place...explained to my suspension guy (manager) what was goin on...he told me to bring it in and he'd fix it up.

took it to my guy who took the car in and I went for a walk to get something to eat. I came back and the manager had gone home apparently soon after I left and left my car in the hands of one of his employees (who i'd never seen before) and he'd already used the rattle gun. Beleive me...if I knew it was gonna be this way, i'd have stayed and made sure everything was gonna be alright...I just assumed my guy would be the one to look after my car. And I STILL think i'm sitting too low...havent gone to get the defect cleared, so we'll see...

so annoyed...

Have a look around for someone who's got 4 stud wheels to sell you their spares. S13 owners who buy these nuts should have some.

I've got 4 spare blue Ray nuts here, but they're the wrong brand, wrong colour and the wrong thread pitch.

I got my nuts for ~$120 delivered.

Whats wrong with the KKR ones?

They look good, weigh next to nothing, and only $4.50 each - and already in australia!

Winner!

[75coupe]

yeah for sure kkr are fine, I think everyone just believes in buying things with a brand name on them... its just a wheel nut guys... I don't see how works nuts out perform the others that have the same finish...

[JimmyRickard]

where does one buy the KKR wheel nuts? Do they have a similar lock nut to the RAYS nuts as well?

Not a bad little suggestion! Now i'll have to go wander through the NS forums...
