LOL we were talking about this on saturday at the castle combe meet. I said i bet coloured wheel bolts will be the next "sheep" thing. I was going to do it but then realised that my black and white theme doesnt go to well with colours...

you can always buy the jap style lightweight anodised jobbies. I toyed with the idea but then when a guy i know managed to lose a wheel when his came undone (apparently you have to be very careful with torque settings) it kinda put me off!

 

[Pasty]

Covers it is then!

had a look and can only find coloured nuts, no bolts

 

[Pasty]

ill get some plain black covers mate. Wheels are black anyway, so should look ok.

They have them in the latest issue of Fast Car being advertised.

(Was flicking through it during me lunch break couple of days ago)

Can’t say for certain whether they’ll do them, but speak to Pro-Bolt and let them know the torque you need to tighten them to. Alloy is relatively soft so probably wouldn’t cope, I ended up having anodised titanium nuts and bolts on my motorbike - costs an arm and a leg - but very light.

 

[edewer]

do lightweight nuts make a big difference?

Not on a 'heavy' Clio, but on a race-bike then it all adds up.
