Black Wheel Nuts
Not the best photo but just had my wheels refurbed in a gun metal grey. Fitted black centre caps and was wondering how black wheel nuts would look. Any thoughts or photos of a similar colour combo.
Cheers

You can now buy D3/4 wheel nuts in gloss black by Hawke for £70 ISTR, but to be honest not sure they'll suit against your grey rims, Or you can get wheel nut covers by Namrick in black non shiny plastic, not sure on todays costs but i have a set you can buy for £25 inc p&p?

I'd print a copy of the image and then colour in your nuts (so to speak ) to see what they look like. However, would tend to agree that I don't think black would look to be very 8) , although I am a fellow fan of the ride quality that the 17" rims give!Currently 2009 Disco 3 SE, 2013 MY D4 HSE and 2016 D4 SE

Seek out some vauxhall insignia covers - they are steel grey and fit over the nuts a treat. I've got them sprayed satin black on mine ( cos I've got satin black rims). Always a few on ebay2006 TDV6 HSE Wrapped Matt Black STOLEN NOT RECOVERED
