Hi guys - my rusty old wheel nuts should be replaced (plus no locking nut). Anyone know of a good place to get either black/graphite/silver/red wheel nuts that will fit ok?

Thank you! =)

Racing Green @ Ash Vale near Guildford have Stainless nuts (!) which work well - no colour coat to get damaged when tightened.....

I have them - they are nice.

Is there any real need for locking nuts on these spiders - do they fit many other cars?

Well, that's what I thought. The hubs are from Chrysler/Jeep, threads being 1/2" imperial.
When the original locking nuts were getting 'tired' & I was looking to replace, my local factors said definitely get locking nuts because it's not a case of them being nicked for another car, but being nicked for the value of the alloy/scrap metal.

They also commented that sometimes you are obliged to park in less salubrious areas other than your own drive!

Nick 'em for the tyres and weigh the wheels in as a bonus!
