After pursuing stainless steel wheel nuts with no luck (shinynuts no longer trading & act are not doing them either) I settled for just some zinc coated ones from evilbay, however i just came across these titanium ones..

link http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/GENUINE-TITANIUM-WHEEL-N...

The price is steep i know rolleyes (ive contacted them to see about doing stainless steel which should be half the price of these)

Now i may be wrong with the size.. Ford M12 x 1.5, 19mm are the current wheel nuts i have on my S, these titanium ones do look very much like them BUT im sure 7/16UNF in metric is m12 x 1.75 hmmm

Cheers
Steve

7/16unf is a completely different thread form to your metric wheel nuts and would not fit your car.

Steve, you can always cheat and get the chrome plated plastic wheel nut covers that just slip over your plain nuts ( Ooo-er Missus! ) Nobody will ever know, will they Longers? wink
