    Nuts

    I have open steel wheel nuts on the S except for one nut which looks exactly the others but is alloy. The other 2 cars have closed alloy nuts.

    Can anyone advise please what nuts should be on the S? Had a bit of a look around but ended up more confused.

    Closed alloy I would have thought. The open steel are more for the racers and those with longer wheel studs AFAIK

      Yes steel are mainly for longer wheels studs or racing where you are constantly removing them. Alloy nuts can be rounded off if taken on/off too many times using the wrong tool.

      I have a brand new set of alloy wheel nuts available if you are interested.

        Just to add my 2 cents worth- nuts ain't nuts.

        I bought an OEM set from Pelican while in the States last xmas and the anodizing is noticeably lighter than real factory nuts. I also bought an alumin(i)um lined socket from them which still marks the nuts. You are better off getting a plastic lined one from Supercheap!
