volks / rays come in black

i use nismo on mine ,

i lost the locking nut, but all the nismo lock keys are identical

 

[Satansbodyguard]

matty are they BIG ££ ??

would still like lightweight ones and like the idea of internal drive ( not as strong ? ) as less likely that some spotty oink with a 19mm socket will relieve me of them ..........

 

[matty32]

about £100

ironically i have a full set which im going to have to bin as i only wanted the locking nut out of the packet

edited to say the full set of nismo nuts are no good to you without the locker

 

[Satansbodyguard]

£5 per nut for nismo ones

the other's ive seen are around £3 to £4 per nut so nismo not that bad eh

 

[typerchris]

I had ultralight ones on mine in black but i had to break them off as some seized on and some rounded the internal bit where the key goes. i would never touch them again personally.

 

[Satansbodyguard]

so.....

nismo ... 1

ultralight ... 0

 

[Satansbodyguard]

are the nismo ones very heavy ????

i'm after lightweight and high strength if thats possable.......???

Don't buy Alloy ones for a start.. They are banned from all Motorsport for a reason... Buy something that is not made of chocolate !!!!

 

[Satansbodyguard]

i thought they made tea pots and fireguards out of chocolate !!!!!

why would they make wheel nuts out of it as well ???

sounds silly to me

tongue planted firmly in cheek........

We use alloy ones on the front wheels of our super saloon speedway car. Not banned from all motorsport mate.

Haha this is true. :thumbsup:

We only use them on the front wheels, on the back we have one big single alloy nut.

just to clear a point up the one i broke was not the brand "ultralite"

 

[Satansbodyguard]

on the ultralite web site it reads.....

Our internal drive lug nuts have a special brass band (exposed above for indication).Cheap internal lug nuts may split leaving the wheel stuck on the hub!!
These wheel nuts must be lubricated with copper grease every time they are refitted

looks like the ones i got did'nt have the "special brass band"

aeroplanes are mostly made from aluminium alloy they don't seem to melt.... they do okay ...

the lightweight nuts get stuck because people don't copper grease them when they remove and refit them
i once had some anodised dust caps they looked great ....they completly siezed on the valves and i had to replace all the wheel valves ..because i didn't use copper slip..

matty....how long would the delivery for the set of nismo ones
