l.chris97 Posted March 13, 2012 Share Posted March 13, 2012 hi guys i just bought a set of d1 spec forged wheel nuts for my work Meisters s1's i just have a question on lock nuts is there any1 out that makes forged lock nuts in black to match the nuts i've bought in gloss black don't really fancy having 3 nice shinny black nuts and one on each wheel standing out like a sore thumb http://www.ebay.ie/itm/D1-BLACK-S-WHEEL-NUTS-TOYOTA-MR2-MRS-ROADSTER-MK1-MK2-TRD-SPORTIVO-VERSO-GT-AE86-/251000731485?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyre_Trims_Trims_ET&hash=item3a70cf375d#ht_4345wt_952 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Welsh-Stealth- Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 have you fitted these? i love the look of these& the fact they weigh next to nothing however dude after taking the wheels off a few times i found they warped& crossthreaded. it may have been just been due to the fact that an airgun was used but i now dont trust them.& they're very soft. im now using some nice strong nuts that i found at japfest one year& all's good look nice weigh a bit more, but are you really gona notice the difference on the unsprung weight? and they all have a internal key (saves marking your rims)to screw them on, aside from the locker & was £26 all in... after some haggling think it was the wheelmania stand?! im sure there has been a few posts on these nuts. not being a tw*t, but nobody wants their rims falling off you may find them alright may be worth saving yourself for a show/event? hope this helps? like these pics below but black.
