Im sure someone will know exactly the right size but get the correct size socket and also get an impact one so you can tell the garage to use it, far cheaper than getting these nuts.

I think its 1inch and 1/16th fits perfectly, the garages will just use anything that looks to fit and screw them up.

I’ve got a set of evocorse dakarzero wheels on my defender and they’re meant to use the standard Land Rover allow wheel nuts but the pockets / cavities in my rims are very narrow. I can fit my original nuts in there but the chrome cover and even that steel ring on my nuts interferes ever so slightly to throw the balance off. If anyone has any sources for replacement nuts that don’t use the silly chrome cover, I’d love to know. Black, silver, gold - I don’t care so long as they fit in properly without marring the walls of my rim cavities.

Does anyone know where to get black wheel nuts for steel wheels that won't rust - not locking and not Wrington as sadly they are out of stock.

Assuming not, what would be the best way to protect the OEM items - ACF perhaps?

I'm just not sure stainless on black wheels will look right, plus I have bought black locking nuts Rolling Eyes Rob

I don't know of anybody else other than Wrington but ACF would work on standard ones as a stop gap. Or you could paint a set and just be careful when fitting. Darren

I have a set of black plastic caps that fit over standard steel wheel nuts, they may not be the look you are after but can grab some photos if you want to see what they look like?

Acf 50 does keep them relatively rust free, mine are still OK after 6 years.. not perfect, but not bad! 2014 Keswick Utility 2.2
