Just looking for replacements for when I fit my new wheels, I've been let down on ebay supplying what I got last time.

Has anyone used this type before?

Do they get clogged up with cr@p?

I had a similar set with my first alloys, didn't like the fact they let in water into the thread (yes I got rust showing   s:scared: :scared: s:scared:    s:scared: :scared: s:scared:  ) so I got rid of them and went for an enclosed type.

Good point Rob, I hadn't thought of that!
I've got enclosed type now, but with use on the outside the coating wears and rust appears on the outside ... can't win eh?

That has pretty much sewn it up Vinny, I shall get a new set of what I use at the moment, they've never caused problems... Just looking tatty after a couple of years in the open.
