Can you supply matt black wheelnuts? I have ZU alloys which have been resprayed matt black and I think shiny black would be wrong. 1995 300 Tdi Epsom Green - It's a keeper.

Are the rims made for alloy wheel nuts ?


Thought you shouldnt mix steel wheels with alloy nuts ?

The Hutchinson wheels are alloys and have the correct flat recess for the nuts. Steel wheels have a cone shape to take the cone shaped steel nuts.

Alloy wheels often have weights on both the inside and outside of the rim. The 255/85/16 BFG are a heavy tyre combined with the Hutchinson makes a heavy combination. The grey 90 will be on our stand at Peterborough with a cut away section of a Hutchinson wheel so you can see the construction.


Have some paint for the weights. Paint on wheel nuts does not readily take to a wheel wrench. Apparently matt black wheel nuts will be available at end of this month.

Alternative to weights..
This also seems an alternative to weights - but I have no experience of it - maybe some others can help?
