Mr T were replacing my Alloys under warranty so I thought I'd get them to put some LWN on at the same time for convienience.

Now the nuts they've put on don't really look like the other nuts on the car, they're flat and hexagonal whereas the others have a rounded top - doesn't look too bad though and you can hardly notice.

What really bothers me about them is that some of the new LWN stick out a fair bit further than the other nuts and it looks a bit crappy.

So I have 2 questions, would it possible to tighten the nuts more so they are closer to the wheel and inline with the other nuts?

If not do I have any rights to get the dealer to replace them with other nuts?

The genuine toyota LWN's come witha chrome nut shaped cover, and dotn really look any different to the others.

Here you go, the locking wheel nut is the one on the left:



If you have the same ones as these i dont think there is anything you can do.

New Toyota ones are different – the locking nut is completely uncovered and rather dull.  s:x :x s:x  Well, the one's that my dealer put on are.

Seems i have the same one's as Kris (fitted on monday).

Is it normal for them to stick out so much?
