Ellis Wheel Nuts – Amazon Special?

[seaneyb]

Hi Guys,

 

I ceramic coated my freshly painted rims at the weekend. Whatever spanner fitted the wheels back onto the car managed to knacker the nuts on the car so I had to lightly hammer the socket on to get the nuts off :(. In a sheer panic, I needed the car running (daily driver), I’ve got a set of these https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08CHN9YMR/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 from amazon as I could get prime delivery next day. Looking at the club shop nuts these seemed to be a good match, a fraction of the cost and I could get them Sunday. I’ve just fitted them and they seem fine. Does anyone know if these are okay to run?

Also, does anyone know where I can get some black covers for the OEM locking wheel nut? It’s making my job look bad.

Hi Seaney.

The wheel nuts on the forum I see are made to ISO standards (reflects in the price). A get out of trouble I would probably use them but to leave them on there.. No way. Nothing I have bought from Amazon has ever lasted.

As for the locking nuts,when I replaced my original silver nuts with black ones,I got some black gloss paint in a aerosol & gave the lock nuts a few coats & they look fine.

for some reason I cannot post a picture of them.
