Found it. Wrington Engineering. £250 for 20 polished nuts. Gulp!!

They should be polishing your nuts as well for that price!!

Be careful with stainless nuts - stainless steel can gall quite badly making them very difficult or even impossible to remove.

Id' stick with normal ones and factor in their replacement periodically. Should manage that a fair few times for the cost of the stainless ones! Bish.

Keep checking on EBay, I bought a set of solid galvanised steel nuts about 4 years ago for less than the price Dan was quoting at the time. Apart from having tarnished to a darker shade than the wheels they are still as good as new., but sorry I can’t remember who supplied them.

I may be wrong but I think that the perception that wheels get regularly nicked is a motoring myth that can cause paranoia

I agree with that!
Alloy wheels, and also with the car stereos being stolen at the time. Nowadays no-one wants an OEM stereo!
Even in Africa. We only use lock nuts to protect spare wheels that are mounted on the outside of a vehicle.

We sell sets of solid JLR Black anodised wheel nuts... Very heavy in comparison to the originals but at least they wont expand...

Dare I ask how much Craig?

They are expensive for wheel nuts but should in theory never need changing again! And are Genuine JLR... We sell them at £125 a set + postage (including a bit of a discount to FFRR members) 👍

As an indication, my 2011 was 4 years old when I first found that my 22mm hex socket wouldn’t fit over several of the original nuts because they were swollen, so I changed them to solid shortly after and they have been fine since.

The alternative of course is to get a 23mm socket.....this worked for me .
