D3 Nuts

At the 9 year service & MOT yesterday we got a clean bill of health other than a MOT fail on corroded front brake pipes which was easily rectified for the retest

Aside from that it was noted that the wheel nuts were corroded and starting to Swell.

I seem to remember £6 each i.e. £120 being mentioned.

Looking at the AF site I see the Bearmach ones are £44 a set Shocked

Can anyone recommend these (or otherwise)

Its a huge difference in price, but to be honest I don't want to scrimp on something as important as wheel nuts for the sake of a few quid.

Cheers
Andy

I've had the Advanced Factor ones on for 3 years now - all good.

Can't remember if they were Bearmach though.

I've just replaced my wheel nuts with that exact set a couple of weeks ago.

Can't speak for the long term performance but visually they are pretty much indistinguishable from the ones that they have replaced (which were starting to swell) - I've got no concerns with them and at 'just' £44 they're a far better option than struggling to remove nuts later on.

Do you guys use a locking wheel nut?

No - binned locking wheel nuts when one wouldn't come off around 4 years ago.

yes to the locking wheel nut at the moment but only because the tyre fitters put it back on when I sub'ed the new set of nuts. My plan is to get rid of it and use the full set of non-locking nuts.

This may be tempting fate but I'm not in a high crime area and the risk of the locking wheel nut causing problems is probably greater than the risk of wheels being nicked (for my situation).

I am probably in the same situation as yourself.

I might get myself a new set of nuts and get rid of the locking wheel nut then.
