Roger C Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Sorry but I've stolen someone else's picture. Is it possible to just buy the wheel bolt collars or do you need to buy the whole bolt? Many thanks Rog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowbos Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 It's integrated and I don't think possible to order separately, looking at your rusty nuts I'd not hesitate in buying a whole new set anyway! 🤓 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So where is the best place to buy new ones please? Rog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Check the collar is suitable for your wheel. I hear there are different shaped collars and different shaped wheel seatings. Tightening one onto another won't be healthy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DesignTek have some shinier ones that I had on a previous car which were quite nice as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 i bought a full set off ebay for £50... seem to be holding the wheels on just fine so far... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boyo Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 (edited) Got my wheel bolts from Spyder Performance and they are excellent. Edited March 16, 2022 by Boyo 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edc Posted March 16, 2022 Report Share Posted March 16, 2022 Techworlddirect from eBay must be about 8 years on my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted March 17, 2022 Report Share Posted March 17, 2022 Fine albeit mine hardly sees any winter driving and not much mileage overall anyway. Avoid using harsh wheel cleaners too. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
