Scrap that apparently you can get nut covers

3

I’ve got the same problem - I’ve looked at some black nuts where have you seen the covers ?

eBay, I’ll see how they work and let you know

Thing is they are all for standard nuts and don’t fit over locking nuts , all my nuts are locking nuts won’t cheap replacing them all

I’ve got exactly the same set up as I’ve just bought some Wolfrace pro lite race alloys - I’m thinking of spraying mine out

If I find any that are suitable I’ll pass the link on

I have found some coloured nuts on amazon and I think they do them in different colours

Cheers, bit annoying they don’t do a gunmetal nut option when buying as I’d have gladly paid it

Those ebay nuts are 19mm so you may not have clearance to get a socket on some aftermarket wheels

They are 21mm covers the ones I linked

Are these the right size for a 3.5?https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0048EJODS/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_N0D9PXWEY2P90JZE18QZ?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1

I’d go for silicon ones from eBay I use them on my black rims but I ordered one size down for a snug fit and as they are silicon they stretch

I’ll try these cover things and order a black set of locking nuts see how I get on, if they are rubbish I’ll get the ones from Amazon above

There are spline drive nuts available on ebay in gunmetal

Found these

What I meant was that some hex wheel nuts like the ones above don’t have enough room around the head to fit a socket on when the recess in the alloy wheel is very close. Its just worth confirming before you order.

Really good point there is not enough room to get a socket on - I’ve just had some plastic ones come and they don’t fit. Going to try the silicone ones

16

I suppose I’ll have to measure the ones I have so I know what to buy, or hope the covers work

I’ve got Rays Gunmetal nuts I bought from Nengun for my Mk4 Recaro.

Like these?

It’s hard to work out what will fit my wheels

19

I don’t think Rays would sell at that price but the ebay seller obviously doesn’t have a problem with using their name for his chinese wannabies

As someone has already said, they are rather unlikely to be genuine Rays.

I bought these ones (you’d obviously need a 20 piece 5 hole set):
