little dave Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 hi guys im after sum sexual wheel nuts and i am un decided which to go for i like the look of the d1's but have heard bad things also i just want to check the size i need for my glanza Quote
zebedee Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 M12x1.5I would be looking for steel ones not alloy like the d1'sBe careful on ebay there are a lot of fakes d1, project kics and rays are all faked out there. Quote
little dave Posted September 16, 2012 Author Posted September 16, 2012 what the fault in the alloy wheel nuts mate Quote
paulgtt Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 them d1 things are a complete waste of time, the metal is too soft. socket just rounds the edges off.get some proper steel ones mate Quote
zebedee Posted September 16, 2012 Posted September 16, 2012 The cheaper ones tend to strip threads.If your swaping or removing wheels quite often the steel are the ones to go for. Quote
rob_bower Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 as above the alloy used isnt hard enough and work loose on a regular basis go for steel weights a bit more but the peace of mind is worth it Quote
AdamB Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Anyone got any good brands for the steel ones? Quote
zebedee Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Sixonetwo do some good ones from TPIRare rimsMutekiIf you have lots of money genuine project kics ones Quote
rob_bower Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 As above I've been running an old set of muteki for years and there still spot on. Quote
zebedee Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 As above I've been running an old set of muteki for years and there still spot on.Same here i've just brought a fresh set as i liked the look of the new SR35's Quote
bucketep91 Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 Stay away from the d1 nuts!Mines twisted and snapped and it took me ages to get the wheels off! Quote
Liam_D Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 i use rare rims ones believe there made by a company called Titan. ive ran these for a year and a half with a lot of removal and there still going strong. Quote
klyfax Posted September 17, 2012 Posted September 17, 2012 High Quality alloy (flight alloy) nuts hold just fine. But the cost is crazy. Go for a steel nut set. Cheap, and works just fine. Runing rare rims tuner nuts. They are very good. Quote
