| Wheel nut covers - anyone used them? |
|
Been looking at changing my wheels back over to the normal running tyres, which means that the new spangly black painted rims will be in service!
Only problem is that I ordered some replacement black wheel nuts from a well established organisation, and to cut a long story short, I wasn't happy with the quality of either of the sets they sent out, so I got a refund and don't have any black wheel nuts now.
I'm looking at the plastic covers as an alternative in the short term until I can source a set I'm happy with - can anyone recommend a supplier for either of the above - but the covers in the short term are the priority so I can get the wheels on the car!!!
Thanks!

J@mes, I was thinking of getting those too after recently having my wheels powder coated but didn't know if there would be enough clearance to fit them! Not sure how difficult they are to get off once on, don't want to be digging them off & marking the wheels!  D3 HSE Zermatt Silver

Guys
I have the Namrick ones and yes they fit fine, can be a pain to remove but I got a cap remover from SWMBO's Audi before it went back to the lease company 
Anyway I don't use them now as I currently have gloss black wheels and they don't look right so if I can find them all I might put up for sale......

vauxhall insignia wheelnut covers do the job perfectly - nice shape, they come a dark grey/black colour I got mine off ebay and sprayed them satin black to match the wheels. They pop off and on very easily
only 16 here but you get the idea

Thats the sort of thing i was after! Just need something for the locking wheel nuts now!
Any thoughts on those by any chance?!?!? Don't want to pay loads out for genuine LR parts if I can help it!
Thanks!
