Josh Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 Not sure if this is what you're looking for, but these are the ones I got for the LMs http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RED-Tuner-Wheel-Nuts-x-20-12x1-5-Toyota-Corolla-Starlet-Celica-Mr2-Supra-Rav4-/110938420185?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item19d471f3d9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTurtleshead Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 I've got a full set of red Alcon wheel nuts. Cost me well over 5 Grand when new, but as the anodizing is flaking you can have them for £2000 mate, special price on these super rare nuts! It's a deal, it's a steal, it's the sale of the f'kin century Scissors!! ....but wait! You can get them re-anodised for a mere £50?!?!! Nah screw you I'm keeping them!!

Jamesy Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 How safe are these nuts to use? just checking before i go ahead and buy them...!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berg Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Ive looked at those in the past as i like the neo chrome ones but was worried how strong they were and weather the splines inside the nuts or the key would strip easy so im interested to see whos using them also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 They're ok...I've been running the black version of them for ages on my na and they've been grand, I had a set of (much more expensive) lightweight nuts that were shockingly bad but these have given me no problems. Only criticism is that the coating wears off from use with the 'key' and brace, mainly on the inside drive though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Have you found a locking wheel nut set in the same colour/finish Jamesy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DMY23 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 If you don't like the idea of alloy nuts, have a look on the Driftworks shop, they do similar styles of anodized/coloured wheel nuts but made from steel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DMY23 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 http://www.driftworks.com/gt50-steel-wheel-nuts-with-key-5-colours-available.html Couldn't find the coloured internal drive ones, but these are available in red, and give you the peace of mind of them being made from steel.

Jamesy Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 perfect thanks mate now just to find a matching locker set!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 I think i'm going to have a punt at the alloy ones if I can find a matching locking set. They look alot nicer aesthetically to me. If they turn out to be crap i'll just bin them and take the hit, only £25 end of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I'm not sure if i prefer the look of the steel ones...hard to tell til they're on the car i guess. Please let me know if anyone finds a locking set in red also Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraDan24 Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 How about these Jamesy, they match at least. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/RED-Tuner-Wheel-Nuts-x-20-12x1-5-Toyota-Corolla-Starlet-Celica-Mr2-Supra-Rav4-/110938420185?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item19d471f3d9 with http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mitsubishi-Lancer-EVO-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-TUNER-LOCKING-WHEEL-NUTS-RED-12x1-5-/111051233352?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&hash=item19db2b5848 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
