Did your nuts stay black ?
I recently bought some new 18" wheels which were fitted with black wheels nuts.

So after 8 days and one pressure wash from the local Polish crew the coating is coming off.

I would have thought black wheels nuts would have been anodized and not just painted.
Has anyone else seen this ?

I will go back to the supplier and give them an opportunity to rectify so won't name and shame.

Depends whether they were 'quality' items and how they were advertised. I bought stainless steel polished nuts from Wrington years ago and they are as good today as when they came out of the box. Nuts are usually an afterthought and you invariably get exactly what you pay for. If they were advertised perhaps as 'carbon steel with zinc plating' then you have grounds for redress, if they were advertised as just 'black wheel nuts' I seriously doubt it. It will of course depend on the supplier's attitude too. Good luck!

The wheel nuts that came with the Pro comp alloys were silver in colour and don't suit the new black powder coat so I painted them with POR-15 and they look OEM. Thumbs Up
