nuts

Two of my locking wheel nuts proved impossible to get off when i was getting some new tyres fitted. So this mechanic just takes some sort of metal chisel, whacks the nut a few times - chooses a socket of a certain size - whacks it onto the wheel nut and a few seconds later - out it comes...

I had a calamity - I used a windy spanner to tighten the wheel nuts a while ago & must have had it on 'daft' setting. I sheared the McGard key trying to remove them yesterday. The AMG alloys have really deep holes so I had a browse on here and picked up some ideas. I ended up with a...

i,ve just bought some 5 spoke w211 aventguarde alloy wheels to fit on my year 2000 w210 e220 cdi, the wheels seem to fit fine, but my wheel nuts seem to be to long (60mm overall lenth) the wheel nut holes are about 15mm deeper on my alloys compared to the new alloys, when you thighten them up...

My, fast approaching 1 year old C250 has 100% perfect 18" AMG alloys, not a scratch on them. However, the nuts keeping them on the car, are another matter. They look like they're corroding ? Pics say it all ... Is this "expected" ? I had the same problem on a spanking new Ford Mondeo 4...

Sorry this really isnt in the same league as the rest of the posts but thought you guys would know best. About to pick up a 2003 W203 Coupe next week any the wheel nuts look a bit rusty. The garage I am buying it from are going to see 'what they can do' but I was wondering if this is a normal...

I have a CLK 2001 W208 which has been in my garage for several months. I noticed the wheel nuts are impossible to remove. The bolts are rusted and one or two did come off after applying a fair amount of pressure but the rest are stuck. Beside applying a serious amount of pressure are there...

I am a new owner of a 09 plate C Class that seems to have rusty wheel nuts on all 4 alloy wheels. I use normal soap and detergents to clean the car and I just can't understand why the wheel nuts will look so rusty so soon. Has anybody else experienced the same problems? Does it suggest that...

Hi Does anyone know if the wheel nuts from standard W126 steel wheels will fit the Mexican Hat Alloy Wheels? Cheers Sean

Hi - I am looking to replace the rusty wheel nuts on my C55. There is a chap in Germay selling some on ebay - Mercedes AMG wheel bolts nuts New! on eBay (end time 27-Mar-10 16:50:48 GMT)- but he has been completely unresponsive to my question about whether they will definitely fit my wheels (18...

The local lowlifes are having fun in my area nicking alloys wheels. Has anyone come across an locking wheel nut that is able to fend off thieves. My local dealer recommended McGard Ultras as they cannot be removed without the special key and their spinning top stops the oinks from using the...

Just took my CLK for MOT at a back street garage and waited while it was carried out. Sat in a waiting room and I heard the roar of the engine being held at 4-5k rpm. After a few mins I got up to take a look at what was going on and saw the guy wander off to speak to another customer. It was...

Bought new galvanised wheel nuts + locking nuts in July 2008 when I changed my alloy wheels and now heads are starting to corrode. Spoke to Main Dealer today who said 'is normal'. I work in Construction and would be very concerned if exposed galvanised steel rusted as quickly as these have...

My 2007 C180 wheel nuts look as if they are rusting. This happened to a previous coupe i had and the dealer just painted them! Any help/ideas etc?

Need some new ones for the Merc i took mine off :D Diameter - 10mm Thread length - 20mm Bolt length before head - 40mm I think thats the dimensions from memory :)

Hi Nephew was screwing at his Nissan 200SX and made the comment to me that it didnt have any 13mm headed nuts or bolts. He said it was well known that neither Toyota or Nissan dont have this size because of superstition. Is this true or is he talking rubbish?? I only ever had one...

Hi, I've just bought some genuine merc alloys for my 203 C220 CDI estate and I'm obviously looking to keep them. Which locking nuts do you recommend? Not sure what the name of the wheel style is but I'm really chuffed with them!
