You need steel wheel nuts. The boost alloy nuts won't work.

I used to buy sets direct from Matt raw and used to paint them myself, so some may be painted some people may have powder coated them.

I had my set shotblast and powder coated recently and they came up like new.  |

Thanks for the the replies chaps
Does anyone do stainless or stainless jacketed ones, as per discovery wheelnuts, I just can't see painted steel one lasting too well. Relative to poweder coating the steel ones, does it not increase the external diameter to the extent you have issues getting a socket onto them? Thanks. Nick. "Procrastination is the thief of time" |

Well I have just found some stainless steel nuts on the bay, they appear to be a taper seat face , are the Mach 5's flat or taper seat?
The pics I have seen of them ( poor ones granted ) appear to show them with a flat seat? Confused  "Procrastination is the thief of time" |

Alloy wheels have a different chamfer on the nuts than steel as explained. Wrington can supply all your needs. Mach 5 wheels were supplied either powder coated or untreated allowing the purchaser to get them finished as they wished. I have two sets and both were powder coat finish.

They're a bit posh, I'd be happy with a set of standards!! I have some steel locking wheel nuts, but they're going on my wolf steelies when the 90 is built.
