Got them for like $20 off a bloke that bought them for his FPV and then sold the car, hahaha.Pics of black nuts: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked 3 times over 3 weeks and they were always out of stock... annoying as hell... so I went to ebay and got these ->http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/140862626729They are the same product and a cheaper price than Taleb were offering them for. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steves nuts are to small. His wheel components aren't large either.http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/20x-1-2-INCH-BLACK-WHEEL-NUTS-Suit-FORD-/251236835224?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3a7ee1df98&_uhb=1 Edited 07/04/14 02:33 AM by arronm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the shipping cost more than the set. WTF.The other thing I have been looking for is a wheel spanner to replace the crappy ford one.Anything special that I need to look out for?

Less chance of wheel damage.The splined ones are good until you lose the tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The tool itself is hardly wider than the nut itself, it just has a bit that juts out a bit further so that a 21mm standard socket fits on it snugly.Thanks for that K31th. But the shipping cost more than the set. WTF.The other thing I have been looking for is a wheel spanner to replace the crappy ford one.Anything special that I need to look out for?No worries, Masda74. That's the problem with buying them from the USA, I suppose. Mine were cheaper than what they are currently at my link... the price seems to have gone up Aussie dollar at the time was clearly a little better, too. lol. (actual prices are the USD ones mentioned here).
