Nice looking wheel nuts...

[Jack!]

The wheel bolts on my 182 are tired and I'd like to replace them.

The TPI Polarised ones look great, but I hear lots of stories of them rusting very quickly and the locking nut being shite.

Are there any other options? Something nice, not too OTT but different from normal bolts.

The wheels they will go on are Matte Anthracite OZ Ultraleggera, car is a Liquid Yellow 182.

Thinking purple bolts might be nice? As long as they're not too bold.

I wouldn't mind some new ones. Mine are 11 years old so a bit tired looking.

I've found some purple ones, but thinking they're a bit too in your face JDM yo, plus they don't come with a locking nut.

I'm contemplating gold bolts, but again, I can't find a set in Clio size with locking nut.

Tpi polarised rust? Really fancied some so I'm glad you said that.

I have these mate, cheap and smart no fuss.

I dont have a locking nut tho so I have all the bolts covered.

Doesn't that take away the look though?

The rusty bolt look?

Ah misread. For some reason thought you had bought some new shiny bolts and then put these on them lol

Naah mate I prefer these caps, nice and subtle and easy to clean when you clean your wheels, they make your wheels look newer.

I use silicone covers for them.
Easy to get on and off unlike the plastic ones

Can you cover the locking nut?

Yes they rust really quickly, I had a set a while ago.

No but I don't use locking nuts myself.

I would just get the old ones cleaned up, or source some new ones.

Every time I've seen aftermarket wheel nuts I've always felt they were a bit out of place.

Thanks for letting me know and quite disappointing for how much they cost.
