new wheel nuts tip

recently we picked up a nice little fiesta as a cheaper second car....

never noticed until i had to take the wheel off that the nuts are more or less exactly the same apart from them being a much nicer 'squarer' edge rather than the sh i t t y mg ones that round off really easy....so i took one off at a time and polished and replaced with my old ones...they look so much better

anyway i thought id do a search and theyre so much cheaper too..please note i did not buy these but they look and sound like the same ones

just thought this may help someone

I could do with a new set of nuts (either very shiny or very black) this could be just what Im looking for...........anyone else fitted them?

I've just bought a set of Mike Satur stainless steel wheel nuts for mine £60 is nothing compared to what i've spent last two months so meh :whistle:

Are the Ford ones the same depth as the MG ones? I seem to recall problems with the McGuard locking nuts as they were not quite deep enough so kept 'popping' off :dunno:

i got to admit it did cross my mind about depth but they appeared to be the same....i did just take one off and replace rather than jacking etc and they nipped up lovely with a torque wrench and just done 220 miles today in notts for our easter run and it was fine
