Wheel Nuts

[GH05T]

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.

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

Got my works ones about three weeks back and yeah they where $200 bucks

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

Aluminium wheel nuts have been banned for motorsport here so probably now not certable either.
