Oorwill Posted July 3, 2020 Share Posted July 3, 2020 Hi,would like advice on alloy lug nuts,I have purchased some and I am a bit unsure if they will be fine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tidgy Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Depends what material they are, some are cheap and nasty and you'd be better off using cable ties, some are ok. Any more details on brand etc? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oorwill Posted July 4, 2020 Author Share Posted July 4, 2020 Thanks for your reply,the lug nuts are epman brand. I've used the oem nuts,just got alloys returned and was looking for matching lug nuts but hard to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 I'd chuck those in the bin , buddy . I bought a set of epman wheel nuts ,they looked good with caps to stop the centre's going rusty /fury.... Stripped the shockingly weak threads out of 2 of the first 5 I fitted , very dangerous . I now run steel tuner style nuts and just touch up the paint in the center every now n then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

savage bulldogs Posted July 5, 2020 Share Posted July 5, 2020 I'm fairly fussy about what I fit to my scooby, especially when it comes to brakes and steering. But still thought they looked a good buy and got caught out on the epman wheelnuts ,too 😏 I did post up on my build thread , how shoddy they were at the time but I did get a full refund from them . So the customer service was good even if the quality of the item was bad . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay762 Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Yup steel or Titanium is what I would run - Titanium on longer studs though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
