Stainless Wheel Nuts
I would like to recommend William (Bill) Brighton, who make stainless steel wheel nuts for both the Wolfrace and the standard steel wheels.
I've bought a set for my steel wheels as the old chromed ones now were so rusty that the wheels had become discoloured.
The stainless nuts are very good quality and match perfect and Bill is very helpful.
Bills email is: brightoncc@hotmail.co.uk
Best wishes

Re: Stainless Wheel Nuts
seconded - and apologies for not posting Bill in here before. 8 Ball has been wearing stainless wheel nuts since we bought it and they still look as good as the day they arrived

Re: Stainless Wheel Nuts
Are there any issues with galvanic corrosion between the steel stud and the stainless nut? I was thinking a set of these would look much better than my tatty old chromed ones.

Re: Stainless Wheel Nuts
phone Bill - remember if justifying the outlay against the cheapy sets on ebay that they will only last a couple of years if you're lucky.

Re: Stainless Wheel Nuts
A fiver per nut AND washer, assuming £10 for postage (and they're heavy)...Not bad in my book.
That's the Christmas present sorted then!
