Gotti wheels - what nuts ?
Discussion
As soon as you've put your heap back to standard Paul I'll have mine into the garage as yours leaves
I'll see what I can find for Ford Sierra on both the wheel nuts and new locks because mine are not only nearly as ugly as one of your Growl shirts but they appear to be fatigued.

Thanks for the replies guys. And I'm happy for you Daggsy
Sadly ShinyNuts no longer sell shiny wheel nuts.
And the ones Griffdude pointed me to are open ended, which I don't think will look right somehow.
Obviously I'm able to search myself for Ford Sierra shiny nuts but there are a couple of things I was wondering about
one is the comments I've seen on the sales items mentioning their nuts are not correct if you have OEM wheels. Which strikes me as odd - do Ford have different angles at the bottom of the nut holes?
And the other point is something I remember about Ford alloy nuts is that they are in 2 pieces, so the hex bit can rotate freely from the bit which touches the wheel - which I think is a big benefit for keeping the finish of the wheel.
You can see this with these nuts clicky
I'm wondering if I shouldn't just get something like these from McGard Clicky

To update on progress, I purchased a set of nuts from a guy on ebay selling lots of original Ford stuff.
I missed out on 2 of his auctions so contacted him. He gave me the price of £15 for a set of 12 (I have locking wheel nuts so only needed 12)
They are original Ford alloy nuts with the floating washer to protect the alloy paint.
They arrived in 3 days and are brand new.
I'm chuffed and think I got a bargain from a good guy I'm happy to recommend.
