so im fitting the new wheels today and i wanna get nice dressy wheel nuts.

probably blue.

do i need a certain taper/ thread/ lenght ect? (S2 c34, Varrstoen 2.2.2)

whould i stay away from alloy? i hear they bur up and can be quite soft on the thread.

go titanium or just overkill?

where is the best place to buy good quality stylish nuts for a good price?

do we have a "guy" for this?

would love something like this... or just streight bue.

Titanium12-1-5-Lug-Nuts-17hex-Zhanrui-Wh

OR i might want to get a very specific colour, can you paint or powdercoat them in a way which they wont just scrape and chip off?

can you get them anodised in a colour?

thanks for the help

I've had about 3 or 4 eBay sets in aluminium over the years, range from $30 - $80... They come in all types of colours but I have found the colour fades over time. Haven't had any issues with them being a "soft" aluminium either.

Wouldn't bother painting as they will just chip/flake, as mentioned they come in enough colours anyway. You can spend $200 plus for a genuine jap set but to be honest I couldn't justify it for my rotas!

I'm pretty sure Nissans require 12x1.25

Had a set of rays ones before that "copy's" I reckon very soft and paint scratched up $50.

The blue works ones look good

    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
    • Nah mate, safe as $800k apartments
