Polarised wheel bolts

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Does anyone know where I can buy a set of polarised wheel bolts for my 200?

that would imply aluminium....is that a good idea for wheelbolts?

Polarised was what I meant

TPI make the polarised ones.

 

[Mr R.]

Problem is mate, they will rust.

Seriously?
I'm not paying 50 sovs if they're just going to rust and end up like my current ones.

@Daniel looks like I'll be sticking the oven on 🙈

Is this true? I always wanted a set but read they rust but every set I see on cars look spot on.

 

[JamesBryan]

My mates Megane ones never rusted, they were on a few years too.

My Tpi polarised bolts rusted pretty quickly.

My Tpi polarised bolts rusted pretty quickly.

Same.. on my Impreza and my yellow Clio (car came with the IIRC).

Garbage !

 

[Daz.]

Even the Black TPI Bolts rust fairly quickly

Yep.
Your best bet is to buy standard Renault ones and don't use any wheel acid, it's the acid and road salt that strips the plating and causes them to rust.

@Joe# got some for his Megane from somewhere. They're the same holy as the 200

 

[car.crash]

I put black silicone caps over mine.
They don't fall off and tidy the nasty bolts.
Under £5

I got mine from Gaz (brand new).

Also had a set on my 182 for over 3 years but never had any issues with rusting. I did give them a good clean whenever the wheels were off though. A common occurrence thinking about it.. lol

What are polarised bolts?

Just poncy wheel bolts...[emoji23]

Mine looked fine for a year or so then rusted.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Yeah I'll be fucked if I'm paying all that money to have rusty bolts within a year.

Been told about a trick involving an oven and some used motor oil...

Dinner won't taste very nice.

 

[Niall]

Couldn't you use a wheel sealant on the heads of them and just keep on top of it?

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

Dinner won't taste very nice.

Jo will go spare if she catches me roasting my rusty nuts...

Especially in someone else's oven...[emoji23]

 

[Mr Plums]

I really like them, surely if you just whack some wax or vaseline on them they will be fine?

It wont be the first time that you've had vaseline on your nuts mate 😂

oh Neo Chrome ones!

Now I see.

 

[Sunglasses_Ron]

I've actually found a set that might fit (read that as @Cub. found)

I may just take a punt on them at 40 sheets.

 

[Coops Mk1]

I've run them on few cars over the years, only rust I've had is on the inside area of the locking one where the key 'squiggle' fits

 

[Rossi1989]

I've had mine for about 2 years only one that has a little rust is the locking one as mentioned above they where from tpi

Do they not scratch from the socket when having them in and out? Always wondered that.

This could be a big possibility. Maybe a bit of tape around the heads when tightening up.

 

[Jekyll]

This was after a year.....

 

[mossyv6]

Not good mate @Dr Jekyll

 

[Jekyll]

That was a few years back (2012/13 i think?)

Was used daily but still not good. The locking wheel bolts are quite weak. It's a shame as they look nice before they go rusty.

My locking wheel nut one did in the gap, the rest didn't, had them on a good three years too.

Had these on my Clio 182 for over 2 years and they were fine... no rust, actually one of my favourite little mods, looked really smart against the anthracite wheels

For my MCS I went for red Rota bolts and they're f**king shite, half the paint has come off after 6 months of usage :rage:
