Just had the car in for some warranty work and I complained about the horrible rusty wheel nuts.


They have replaced them FOC for some nice black ones. Only snag is they haven't given me the tool to remove them.



Let's see if these rust.
 
I know someone has too....

But when I saw that heading in the forum "Rusty Nuts", was I the only one who thought about the "alternative meaning" and waiting for the jokes to flow ..

:o
 
Probably because I asked for black ones.
 
Are you sure it isn't the same as your old one? There is a limit to the number of different ones.
 
So now every bolt is a locker? Blimemy rather you than me. The only locking bolts I trust are the rad ones.... most others break so easy..
 
Only 1 looks like a locking one to me.
 
I've been giving the key for the locker just not the adapter for the other bolts. It's going back in Monday so I'm sure they'll find me one.
 
Yeah I need to source replacement nuts :(
 
Watch out for the acid based cleaners those hand car wash folk use. They really do fcuk up any bare metal / alloy they are left to rot on.
 
Just had my girl check my nuts for rust and she didn't find any....??? She gave me an odd look when I asked her to check them for rust.
