Nuts....
 
Just a quick silly one.....

Anyone fitted aftermarket wheel nuts they would recommend? Plenty out there but experience tells me there not all that good...

Genuine from Rimmer bros are £11 each! Need 8 and think 88 quid is a bit much!! :hmmm:

^^^this, they are a bit bigger so just mind and have a suitable wheel brace. They are much better as they are solid so don't fall to bits like our standard ones sometimes like to do :)

Cheers chaps. Any particular model Mazda and when you say bigger presume you mean actual size as opposed to the shoulder size?

Maxfly 06-01-15 12:09 PM

Iirc they are 19mm Simon And standard are 17mm?!? I believe any model is fine.

Any nut with a 60 degree taper to fit a M12 x 1.5 will work.

I normally use a 19mm socket on my wheel nuts, the Mazda 6 uses 21mm.

There are some options from my ebay search for 19mm 60 M12 1.5 - http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_fr...2+1.5&_sacat=0
