Stainless steel wheel nuts

Might as well. The dusting of chrome that my nuts have has evaporated.

Does one re-chrome or find a supplier of S/S nuts?

I looked for an old post, but failed. Anyone recommend?

Cheers, Pete

Hi Pete

I was thinking of giving www.shinynuts.co.uk a call tommorrow with a view to getting some maufactured for my Can-Am. They don't make any our size at the moment. I'll let you know the outcome. We might get the price down if there are a few of us wanting some.

Regards Dave

Cripes - now that's what I call service! Yep, I'm up for a set.

a) What are we calling silly money?

b) Do we see if they can integrate a floating washer?

Stainless?

[usagtrman]

Actually they were chrome plated steel. They have held up much better then the originals. http://store.summitracing.com/partdet

Count me in for a set from Shiny Nuts. I had a set of theirs on my Cerb and they were brilliant. They looked so much better than the rusting black painted ones! Nearly £100 a set but well worth it... Mart

Has anybody ever looked for alloy ones, no rust and very, very light? I think the only thing is the MSA do not allow them but are they strong enough for normal road/light track use? What has the GTW got?

I do use alloy, but I only have one HUGE nut on each wheel (Centre locks), sorry I can not be of more help.

..... and of course there's the big shiny nut on the steering wheel

Nutter

I spoke to Jeremy at Shinynuts. I am sending him a photo of our wheel nuts with details. They might be able to modify one of their existing nuts to fit. He is sending me a sample wheel nut which I will see if I can modify on my lathe to fit our wheels. I'll keep you all updated on the progress.

Hi folks,

Has anyone asked Ultima about this ? The wheels on my GTR have been off three times as part of the ongoing build and the nuts are already flaking. I doubt there is an inexpensive solution but I'll see what Ultima says and post their answer here later. It's a shame the standard items are clearly not up to the job as it spoils the appearance of the otherwise perfect wheels.

Regards,

Tony

Same for me! Several months ago I took delivery of my body pre-fitted and weels etc, and I did complain to Ted and showed him the poor state of the new nut which were already showing signs of flaking and bubbling. Horrible quality I have to say!

Ted did promise he would look into it, but I have not heard anything back since!

So... I am a little miffed!

Shame as this spoils the otherwise high quality of product I have receievd so far!

C'mon Ted.....please get this sorted! A 'hapeworth' of tar...and all that!

OK, so maybe I will also have to shell out (again!) for these new ones you have found. Please keep us informed!

...and if so...Factory do I get a refund?????
