Nuts!

[Call the midlife!]

Does anyone have a link or any recommendations for a set of BLACK standard fitment wheel nuts, preferably with locking nuts please?
All I can seem to find are "tuner" nuts with the taper.
Cheers!

If all else fails you can get covers for them

That's what I did on my previous 2 when I changed wheel colour, did away with the locking wheel nuts too

Yeah, cheers Bernie, I've looked at those as a last resort but ideally I'd like to retain the locking nuts. I've not offered up the existing nuts and centre caps to the "new" wheels yet but I don't think they'll quite "go"..[emoji23]

I've got some great black nuts, go perfectly with black wheels like team dynamics and have lasted years with no problem. The link for mine will be long gone but they are a set of 16 M12 x 1.5 nuts from EBAY.

Don't get ones with funky fitments - stick to normal length 19mm hex nuts.

Don't get alloy ones - they expand/contract and are more prone to loosen themselves.

Stick with ones like these:

I cant help thinking you will struggle  to find a flat faced wheel  nut in black. Lots of choice in the taper ones but they would be dangerous to use on standard wheels.

I would  spray the ends of each standard nut with etch primer then black rattle can. Then put them in your oven once it has been on  to bake them. That would leave most of the contact surfaces unpainted to hopefully not get chipped but still  give some of the look you are after?

Thanks all, definitely sticking with flat faced regardless and will have a think about the oven baking once I get the bloody thing back on the road [emoji23].

Sorry assumed you were on aftermarket wheels!  Ones I sent link for are obviously not ok for stock wheels, and I don't know of any that are.

No worries, the "standard fitment" bit is a little open to interpretation, normal alloys but had them coated and was after black to go better with the new colour.
But have since offered them up with the standard nuts and I might be able to live with it.

Now there's a wonder... they're the correct fitment but I'll have to check seating length to be sure. Nice find David, cheers.

Probably not the cheapest option, might be easier to simply get a set of chromed ones and repaint them black after removing/roughing up the surface, would probably look better than the covers and be cheaper than getting a set of black ones. I guess you could also spray over the chromed ones to get a 'shadow chrome' effect.
