Going to be replacing all the wheel nuts and locking ones but don't want to get the run of the mill (due to rusting and fading) Dose anyone know any good ones out there? Also going to have to replace some screws in the plastic trim.
 
I took a shoebox (every missus has'em;)) drilled 16 holes (13 mm) in the top, sanded the bolts, coated them with zincspray and matte black. Some baking with the heatgun and they were fine by the time the (original) summerwheels went on.

They look great and suffered no damage mounting the wheels.

I put black wheel nut covers on mine too, it looks mint and has to be cheaper and easier than replacing the actual wheel nuts with ones that don't rust.


You got a pic of them? I'm thinking it will do for now, but I'm not sure what ones to get. black or chrome
 
If you don't mind a picture of my filthy wheels I can get you one.

Do you want a close up of the wheels or a picture of the whole car (or both)?


Yeh I don't mind the dirty wheels mine are dirty and a few scuffs from previous owners (need them all refurbed or new set) Also yeh both would be cool, just to get an idea of what they look like, i have a grey hp

I'll get them tomorrow, it'll be dark when I get home and the dark doesn't agree with the camera on my phone haha.
 
That's magic, appreciate it ?
Sorry it took me so long, these are about as good as the camera on my phone can manage. I hope they're alright :).
