After my faff trying to buy some new wheels, I have elected not to bother and just get my current ones refurbished, however, I am going to change the colour, and will need black wheel nuts.

Do the tuscan wheel nuts fit, or am I on a quest for some after-market ones?

Cerbera studs are 1/2" UNF. Whether that's the same as the Tuscan or not, I'm not yet sure. (Will be getting some new locking wheelnuts shortly so will find out)

pardon my ignorance, but what does UNF mean?

Thanks for the reply, by the way!

Can you let me know whom you pick & how you get on: we live not a million miles away, and I want to refurb/anthracite some 17" at some point.
Thanks,
Sean

Don't say that! Well actually, do wish me well, but as for the rest... My car's going to get left outside quite a bit; it'd bl**dy well better not leak!

Tam lin -
Yeah, I did an internet search, and am using a company called BJV Engineering - www.wheelrefurbishing.co.uk

They are competitive on price, and will collect. I am not having the work done until after Easter, though.

Just had Tuscan Spiders fitted to my cerb.
New wheel nuts were around 25 for the 20 from a main dealer. May save a lot of hassle.

Seen them in Sprint and thought they looked nice. But without wishing to sound like a complete tight@rse... £100 for a set of wheel nuts??!
