Shiny Nuts

[mgaut]

now the wheels are off being refurbished, I'm keen to replace the standard wheel nuts with some decent ones.

Before spending £75 of my money, has anyone any comment on ShinyNuts (do they last, etc) and a picture (Pies??)

cheers

Have a word with V8Smith. He has a set from ShinyNuts and they certainly look the part. Not cheap though.

Soz no pic but as the nuts are stainless they WILL last

Hi Mike,
Yes I have Shiny Nuts.....go on the Podie! They look the part and as has been mentioned they are marine grade S/S so will definitely last, not cheap but worth it when you work out how long they will last!

Take a look at my profile photo and if you want a closer pic let me know.

Later

I spent a hour one weekend polishing my nuts... Podie

I was well pleased with the reults for effectivley nothing. I'll take some piccys and post them tonight.

First with a wire brush wheel mounted in a drill held in a vice then with a metal polishing cotton wheel and polishing paste.

only need 12, as I've got 4 locking nuts.

regrettably, no discount.

Pleased you like them guys, anyone who wants to buy 4 less nuts because of existing locking nuts, no problem - prorata price reduction is always offered. However several peeps who've done this have come back to buy 4 more nuts because one odd one per wheel looks a bit iffy.

I've looked into doing locking ones but without Thatcham approval it's pointless (no insurance cover) and that process is also very expensive.

Anyone know a TVR wheel(s) that's been nicked off the car???? Not heard of anyone so far...

I sent Mike an e-mail pretty much saying what you have, I think three per wheel would look odd, but I do believe they are haing some covers made to make them look like Shiny nuts!

I also have never heard of a TVR wheel being nicked..........? Anyone else?

There was a post a few months back where a couple of Tuscans on a garage forecourt OOP North had their wheels nicked.... Put up on blocks overnight...But they are the only ones I've heard of...

excellent; sets off the newly refurbished wheels really well. somebody is looking to make up a set of covers for the locking nuts.

Interesting because you'd think they would be stolen to order. I can't imagine any TVR owner stooping that low and the only other vehicle they'll fit is a Cherokee Jeep...Spiders on a Jeep, I don't think so. But I'm probably just naive.

Not insinuating anything but I saw a set of S2 OZ alloys on a mk4 Escort van just before Christmas.
