Just ordered myself a set of td's ( big thanks to mrbodger for his help) and I was wondering about getting some black wheel nuts to match. Anywhere sell these? I've seen the exige ones on EP (they say the are VX compatible) but they only come in a set of 16 for the lotus fitments. Any others? Cheers Matt

Do these (17mm covers) fit standard VX220 wheel nuts?

black wheel bolts

Vauxhall ones don't necessarily fit TD wheels.

I've been looking for some black wheel nuts too. Are the black covers any good? Anyone got them on?

My BMW company car had black bolts as standard, so I just swapped them :lol:

Not good really IMHO, fiddly. I just spoke to the guy who sold me mine (link above) and they will be appearing on ebay probably tomorrow. thumbsup

You guys need to be careful that the shape/profile of the bolt clamping surface is correct for your wheels. Conical vs. spherical, and the details thereof. A close visual comparison should be sufficient.
