Hi all im after some wheel nuts for my rpf1s, Which would you suggest are the best option to go for?

Ideally i would like black nuts.

Cheers Dan

 

A punch in the groin should help....

Sorry! :-D

 

We were all thinking something along the same lines...

As for a more grown up response (Im not really that grown up), the best option would be to get some steel ones (Plenty on fleabay). Just make sure they have the taper as found on aftermarket wheels, and not rounded such as found on OEM ones.

You can get plenty of styles in Alu, however you need to be aware of corrosion between aluminium and the steel studding.
I have used aluminium nuts with no issue, just give them regular checks. (Slacken off and re-tighten). This was not really an issue as my wheels came of often enough.

(Know its also not recommended to use aluminium nuts on track.)

 

Any particular brands to go for or avoid?

 

ive got black ones with my enkei's, came with the wheels from the US, just generic steel jobbies so wont be anything special, think they where $20 or so. they are a longer than OEM, maybe around 30mm, look great and I have no complaints.... no point in spending a lot on these. best to stick with steel though!

 

These are quite good .


I've got a set of black J's Racing wheel nuts lying around.

 

pull the other one, Nobby's nuts rock! Chilli nuts ftw!

 

Have a look at the Muteki's on our website

 

I know you prefer black ones Dan, but these are very good for power to weight ratio
