Westley Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 Had the car at the garage to have springs and shocks fitted as I haven't got the time to do them myself yet and I wanted them on ASAP. Picked the car up today and was informed a wheel but had snapped when trying to take off the wheel. It's still stuck in holding the wheel on securely and they changed the shock/spring with the wheel still on. I now need some new nuts, I don't fancy keeping the rest on as I can imagine they'd probably do the same centrally. So can people give me links to some good quality ones that aren't too expensive. Thanks guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dan106 Posted November 2, 2015 Share Posted November 2, 2015 We're they alloy ones dude? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westley Posted November 2, 2015 Author Share Posted November 2, 2015 We're they alloy ones dude?No idea tbh, they were on when I bought the car and it was on my to do list to get some better and plainer ones but I was hoping I wouldn't have to do it as soon as this! Here's the nut. It's still on the thread as you can see it's just the rest of the but that snapped when the mechanic tried to take the wheel off. They said they'll sort it for me if I bring the nuts so just need some good ones that are a nice enough price! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

aleximport25 Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 Tbh buddy I would of stayed clear from ones made of aluminium as we all no alloy is soft. I really wouldn't fancy heavy cornering on a soft metal dude. I've gone for some steel ones no issue ;-) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
5T4R7ET N/A Posted November 3, 2015 Share Posted November 3, 2015 get some steels ones that are black or something, the aluminiums ones are too soft and you probably end up with a similar issue to what you have now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Westley Posted November 3, 2015 Author Share Posted November 3, 2015 (edited) Thanks a lot guys, I've just ordered some black steel nuts instead. I'll just have to try sell the gold ones! I'm sure someone will take them haha Edited November 3, 2015 by Westley Quote Link to post Share on other sites
