Got a couple of odd wheel nuts so I want to make sure I have all the right ones. Would I be able to pick up a set at a tyre/wheel shop or will I need to hit up a mini specialist?

This is what I've got

Cheers,

Nick

Those are Performance wheel nuts, you should be able to get them new still from nearly any wheel shop, though they might not be in stock.

And they look to me like the same ugly wheel nuts I've seen on every set of superlights.
Same crappy quality with the chrome peeling too. :lol:

+1 for "early" Superlite (Performance brand) wheel.

The new Superlites come with the stepped wheel nuts.

:wink:

I think I have a spare 16 I could throw your way.
Cannot guarantee they'd be the pefect fit for your stockies, but at least they are all the same.

Shoot me a text - 0403 903 130 - tomorrow, and I will double check there are 16 there.
They are literally only a few thousand km's old.

Being 3/8th Im yet to find a tyre shop that keeps them in stock, But any tyre place/auto store should be able to order them in for you.

Its the god damned contesta nuts that seem to be unobtanioum, especially in stainless.

If you want S/S though you would need to get them made... any good machine shop could do this from a sample.
