white-gt Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Hi guys, my current nuts are starting to rust.. and im not sure how much i trust Ebay ones incase they rust or worse yet strip their threads on a corner and the wheel falls off! but in saying that im not wanting to spend £40-£50 on ones either.. ideally red ones would be nice if any one knows somewhere i could get good reliable ones? ive never had to buy these before and ive seen horror videos of these failing so i obviously want to get it right! whats your thoughts lads?thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
morgey Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 40-50 should just about get a good set. Any less than that and you may as well use chewing gum lolBuy from a trader on here you will get tried and tested parts then.If you want a heart attack look at th price of genuine volk rays wheel nuts. They are top quality stuff though Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie5414 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 D1 Spec Nuts are the best IMO. Don't scratch alloys at all and are lightweight. Any other cheap ones will just be shit and come loose after a while, or start peeling Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jim* Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 those d1 genuine nuts look good but arnt they m12 x 1.5 and our cars are m12 x 1.25? somebody please correct me if im wrong Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Scott-EP Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) http://www.driftworks.com/high-strength-black-internal-drive-slimline-wheel-nut-packages.html I had these on my old GT and never gave me any problems, Paint never peeled, Never come loose or anything either.. And they are cheap in my opinion.. 16 and the Hex tool for £28 Edited January 7, 2014 by gtr-r33 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jamie5414 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 says on their ad forged aluminium compound, i picked one up when they arrived and was shocked how light they are, all 20 in the box are probably as heavy as 2 standard Quote Link to post Share on other sites

white-gt Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 Heres part of the description from an ebay seller selling the D1 nuts. We dont recommand them for Track use because at the end of the day they are Forge Aluminium item and will never be as strong as steel item on the track but if you happen to have them them on at a light Track session during a show or an event they shouldn't be a problem as the stress level you put through the item are the same or not much more than normal road conditions and they are still with in the stress limit of the Genuine D1 Spec Wheel Nuts Can take.* *The Wheel nuts are definitely not suitable to use for Drifting as the stress level coming from the side way are way too much for the D1 Spec wheel nuts as well as many other bigger brand products as we have also test them before n our British Drift Championship Superpro class Drift Cars.* Quote Link to post Share on other sites
white-gt Posted January 8, 2014 Author Share Posted January 8, 2014 ideally i would like red ones tbh.. and steele, all these little stories of non steele are putting me off lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Addymk2 Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 Ebay D1 nuts, no offence, are more than likely all knocked off chinese copies made of pigeon semen bonded with mule dung and painted with the blood of endangered animals. That's why they fail. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
