Fpv Wheel Lock Nuts

[gwk]

Have put a set of BF Typhoon 18" rims on my BF XR6T.

Ford have quoted me $188.95 for a set of 4( black or chrome )lock nuts.

Is this a realistic price?

I do know that the front nuts are a shorter length compared to the rear nuts.

Cheers

that's average mate!

Look on ebay, specifically for FTG Auto Salvage listings, think they got genuine Ford lock nuts for ~$50.

Thanks Smicky, will bite the bullet and buy genuine. The car is worth the $200.

Thanks Winstor, there are ford lock nuts for $50 approx. on ebay, BUT, these FPV rims require Long(rear) & Short(front) Wheel lock nuts.

guys get something decent...........MCGARD spline drive nuts with locks from the states and made in the USA are the ducks nuts, you can get them on ebay. you want the mustang nuts which are 1/2 inch. my tyre shop confirmed these are mongrels to get off (when I lost my key LOL). With current exchange they are probably 100 bucks a set to OZ.

I have a set sitting in my garage and yes they are longer on the rear than the front. Send me a PM if you want them, they have a brand new key as the tyre shop screwed the last one and I sold the car with just a cheap set on it.
