D1 or Tuner? I like the idea of Tuner cos they are a bit more secure than D1`s but prefer the shade of blue of the D1`s What do most peeps use?

Just binned my second set of locking wheelnuts.........

 

Ummm, ok

 

They get too tight, then the key starts to chew them up.

They have gone before they cause me any trouble. Both were the original types.

I REALLY think they are made of poor quality metal

 

Are you on about the Tuner ones?

 

No mate, they were OE on my Scoob in 1998. They look "castellated" on top, and the removal key was a female version to sit on top of the nuts. Each nut had a stainless cover that made it look like a standard nut.

 

Cheap crap in other words.

 

anyway....back on topic, lol!

I like the D1 type matey, quite fancy a set of these myself when ive decided on colour scheme

I think its best to go with the shorter version with standard rims, as think theres a longer type too..

 

Came with the car, so possibly.

But when I lost the key, the new set, which were the same type, were £30.

For FOUR nuts plus the key?

 

Steve personally i would don't buy D1,i brought similar and they will not last shiny blue,red or any colour,paint will flakes off after few times of tightening nuts or if you are looking change your alloys for track day tyres etc.


If you have budget,have look for Rays worth in my opinion extra and last lot longer


Jura

 

Yes, back on topic at last


Ok Jura, thanks for the advice

 

Yeah, really depends on the quality of the anodised plating and how careful you are tightening them as to how they will last. The cheaper ones probably not so good, though cant comment on the d1s.

Bit of a gamble

 

I paid that for a set of McGard locking wheel nuts.

Got a set of wheels with Toyo SnowProx's fitted included in the price, so didn't think it was too bad.

 

I have just bought a set off Tegiwa imports,dont know how long they will last some paint came off as i fitted them.The good thing is the locking nut looks virtually the same as the others.
I had Mcgard lockers but they went rusty.

 

Ive a complete set of Rays wheel nuts with 4 being locking with key if interested? They are in anthracite

Rob

 

These are what I have on my Impreza, they look the mutts nuts and they are Muteki SR48 wheel nuts.



I bought a set of D1 wheel nuts and didn't like them one bit, I never fitted them and I wouldn't recommend them to anyone.

 

On the look out for some myself,what are these's blox one's conner is selling like?

 

How much you want for them Rob?

 

Don't know sorry Ryan, but mine above are neochrome blue but also worth it if you can find them are burnt titanium which were a limited edition colour.

 

Where might I find some Ty?

 

I got mine on eBay from the USA but I'm sure that there are UK sellers as well, as I ended up paying the customs and taxes as well.

 

That's what I don't want mate,hate the tax's

 

Do a Google search I'm 100% sure there are now UK agents.

And here you go.
