Does Anyone Know If You Can Get Black Locking Wheel Nuts For A Zed? I Have A Set Of Black Enkei Lightweight Forged Alloys On My Car But So Far Have Been Unable To Find Any Black Locking Nuts To Match. The Only Other Option Is To Get A Set Of Normal Ones And Paint Them Black Myself, But Think It Will Look Crap.

Any Help Is Much Appreciated. Thanks.

most are silver my nissan one are silver( heres a tip i paid £12 for my nissan one same make in halfords £29)

Paint'll come off as soon as you tighten the nut

Better anodised

was this from a dealer?

yup my main dealer cant remember the make but halfrauds sell same make for 29

Now There's A Thought, My Car Produces That Much Brake Dust That Silver Locking Nuts Would Soon Turn Black.

Have a look on e-bay mate.. i got a good set for £5, if you fitted them then masked off the rest of the wheel you could spray them fitted and not have to worry about chiping your paint?

do you have a parts number for the nuts? I've just been to the local stealer and all I got was puzzled looks when I told them it was for a 300zx.

iv got these mate and they seem good.. not black but they seem a quality build

If the wheel locks are not hardened a set of wheel lock removers just take them of so easy they are not worth the trouble.

 

I only ever use Mcgard. Tuff as you need, my removers wont touch them, a good chisel and a big hammer wont touch them either.

Having read the Autoexpress article I agree completely.

 

I had a Volvo, which I owned so I could make as much noise as I wanted etc, that had Mcgard's on and I simply could not get them off.

 

 

They also do a different design which is very tough, but I guess not as good..

ordered a mcgard set from Demon Tweeks

shit=box... better get mine changed then... do not want my wheels getting half inced!

 

good advice mate :bow:

Thanks Everyone For Your Help. I Will Certainly Look Into Getting A Set Of Mcgard Locks For My Zed.

I have some new 18" wheels coming, a birthday present from my son, and I will put two sets of Mcgards on.

 

If you register the key and loose it Mcgard are very quick sending a new one, 15 Euros I think.
