getting my wheels refurbished and wondered is it worth changing the nuts as the originals are pretty grubby.
Has anyone bought a reasonably priced set that have not started to rust?
Im not willing to pay £80 for a set of stainless, they seem to be a standard ford M12 x 1.5 nut is that correct?
I know you cant see much of them but it will irritate me!

Probably available cheaper than this but not bad with a locker too.

Got some of these for my W124, they look pretty good. About six quid from ebay. Search for wheel nut covers in the size you need.

Being as you can only see the end of the nut , I did mine the " tight wad " way and bought a roll of chrome tape from the car shop and trimmed it with a Stanley knife round the nuts . Been on for 5 years now .

I will probably paint the ends with por15 as the deep socket I use hopefully wont rub it off.

Just go with the original stainless shiny nuts (if you can find any) - they are a quality product and well worth the investment
