Opinion ? Black or Alloy nuts!
Just had my original 18s stripped and painted. Added new black centre caps and original alloy nuts. Thinking about getting black ones but what to get others opinions š

Do some homework via 'Search' on the various types and how long they will last.
These are/were my EBay black nuts (about Ā£40) after one winter...

Yep Iām sold on Alloy originals. Those EBay specials are not good and more I look the more I prefer them plus Iāve got the alloy ring around the edge of the centre caps. Cheers šš

Canāt help you with where to obtain them but I think that if youāve got black rims you need to have black nuts, too. The silvery ones donāt donāt look good against black.

"Silver" [whatever natural alloys are] and appropriate nuts. Anything else is urban gangster that should be reserved for BMWs.
Does that help? Visiting from rrsport.co.uk

You can get hex plastic bolt covers in a range of colours including black. As they tend to be a tight fit they come with a removal tool
