naff wheel nut cover question

[james walker]

hi guys, i have inovit cts 18s in gunmetal, the wheel nuts are hex key style nuts, which due to the awesome weather have now gone rusty inside the hex...

what i need is some covers to hide this, preferably in black...

any ideas?

leon cupra by the way.

cheers in advance

i use to work for performance wheels in leicester (KEI Racing) they use to have white/clear ones.
dont know if they still have them or not. but they sell new style of tuner bolts/nuts that dont rust either.

yeah performance wheels have them they can sort you out ask for Alex just said i told you to ring them. not sure of prices tho as center caps can be anything from £3 up to £20 each. 01530 517920.

the hex nuts are all standard size the only difference between them are some a hex and some are star.
some are inner key some are over.
again the number above should help you out.

Loads on the bay mate search wheel nut covers, unless you have already

 

[james walker]

dos anywhere do black wheel nuts for aftermarket alloys in m14x1.5?

yeha did mate, not sure which ones to fit hex style wheel nuts though?

 

[LEE69]

Generally they are 17mm (iirc) universal i'd say tbh.

 

[james walker]

but i have internal hex style bolts, the cap would need to fit into the hex, if you get me

 

[LEE69]

Round on the outside, hex in the middle?

Maybe these might push over?

Unless the "round outside" is far to close to the alloy.

 

[james walker]

thats the one, hex key goes into the stud to remove.

push over would do fine, plenty of room.

suppose id measure the diameter, then plump for those ones.

 

[LEE69]

20 for £10 delivered on the bay bargain!!

 

[james walker]

that is a bargain... linky....

[james walker]

just saw those, are they round inside though or hex, like normal wheel bolts...

i measured mine and i saw, 19mm, maybe my eyes....

yep remeasured, it was my dodgy eyes, there 17mm...

these have the hex on the inside of the covers you see, the outside of my bolt is rounded...

i take it these are ment to fit the standard type hex on outside nut

 

[LEE69]

They may fit over the ones on your car, even though they are round.

these are like my nuts... 6th product down

the round wheel nut with the hex inside.

proving difficult this.

 

[LEE69]

You use this key?

If so 17m look far to big imho.
