Show me your wheel nuts!

[Jekyll]

I'm looking at getting a stud and nut kit due to my polarised TPI bolts going rusty and the ease of removing my wheels ect and was just wandering what other people have got.

Post away

 

[Fletcher]

I am also after the PMS stud kit.

Not very impressed with the TPI bolts, they rust and aren't that strong.

 

[Uncle_Gravy]

Had to double take then, thought the Topic said "Show me your Nuts!"

TPI bolts

Off topic but what calipers are you running.

 

[Silent_Scone]

Wilwood superlites, they're just painted.

 

[Jekyll]

Same fletch. Really disappointed with the TPI bolts tbh mate. It's a nice looking bolt and really let's the rest of the wheels, brakes etc down.

Been looking at lug nuts, just seeing what other people have got.

Mike I like what you've done on your calipers.

 

[Jekyll]

Jason, that's the sort of thing I'm looking at, just shorter as I think they'd look too long for my 2118's

Where is the last set from?

The chrome looking ones are from eBay, comes as a full set with studs etc.

First ones are from demon tweeks.

Thats the kinda thing I'm looking at. Fancy yet subtle. Is there any downfalls with having the nuts open ended?

Wouldn't surprise me with your mind, dirty bugger.

I'm really not sure yet. They went on late Thursday and its snowed since then and the car hasn't moved. Sorry pal. I am pleased with them and they weren't mega money's either

Have you got a link to those Alex?

I was watching a set of d1 spec black nuts on eBay but forgot to check and lost out!

 

[Billy.]

What are those wheel nuts?!

 

[James28]

Get some red ones mark!

 

[Jekyll]

Haha, there is some red ones up for grabs on here in the for sale section.

Didnt know if it would be to much?

Im on the ipad but I'll get on the laptop when I'm done on the throne lol

What are those wheel nuts?!

Theyre the same as my rare rims ones but by a company called tegiwa. They do more colours but are abit more than mine

How would I go about fitting those? Is it the same as my wheel bolts and locking bolts?

 

[Jekyll]

No, you need to convert to studs.

 

[alexr19]

its rarerims other company nuts4wheels who sell them on ebay but i ordered mine through the chat system on rarerims website as im running spacers and needed different lengths but this is the kit they offer but with different nuts to mine.

mine are the gt50

and the tegiwa ones

tbh id just use the rarerims chat if you want the same nuts as me as i had it ordered in 10 mins and came like 2 days later.
and billy theres a guide on here by Bonxy (i think...) abit of locktite and it was done in about and hour and a bit.

bit of an essay but i think its all covered lol

Anybody had any experience with internal drive wheel nuts.

So stupid question time.

I have a Mk3 with 20mm spacers (FK B Centric from Venom), and will probably end up taking wheels on and off from time to time.

What sort of thing would I need to convert to studs and nuts?

 

[Jekyll]

You would need the studs (measure your bolt thread size and add the spacer size on top to get the stud size. I think it's m12 x 15 x your length) some wheel nuts (again m12x1.5 thread) and locktight. Add some locktight to the nd of the stud and screw in, then leave to dry. Once dry add your spacers and replace the wheels and clamp up with your nuts.

@DrJekyll Im sorry to bump this post but did you ever put nuts on? I'm thinking about getting some, are they secure? I know some have keys. What they like for quick change of wheels? And do I need Spacers? I don't really want any.

Yes i did and have done again on my current RB.

Yes they are secure. A lot of cars run a stud/mut conversion as standard. You don't need spacers but you would need to do some research onto what sizes you'd need as the fronts will be longer than the rears. I have 16mm front spacers and 5m rear spacers and i run 82mm front studs and 68mm rear studs with 19mm head nuts. Wheel changes are simple and this way you can rest your wheels on the studs when lining them up. I wouldn't/dont bother with key nuts. Standard is fine.

 

[Archtects]

Okay I'll have too look around do some digging it all depends if I get the wheels. Any suggestions where I can get decent nuts? I see alot on ebay. I'm debating between purple nuts on anthracite wheels or black on bronze really depends if I get the wheels

Yes, personally I wouldn't unless on a track car, they rust inside so look crap and also they can jam your key in them due to the crap and rust build up...

TPI Polarized nuts.

Got a link?

Bought them on caraudiosecurity.com although I'm struggling to find them on there now! 😅

 

[Jekyll]

I think when I looked a few weeks back I couldn't find them but I'm sure they used to be available.

Maybe they don't stock them anymore.
