Wheel nut covers
Hi all,does any one know where to obtain chrome style wheel nut covers. You can get 17",19"etc (but not 19"). I have mg midget wheels with the standard moggie nuts and want to smarten the wheels up a bit more. Before anyone says I shouldn't use the standard nuts on my wheels,the wheels fitted the hubs perfect on my car so no problems. Any help please cheers.

Re: Wheel nut covers
Well aside from the fact that you should have been able to edit your original post, rather than have to post a correction (you did spot in only a minute after posting), why are you talking about Inches (") as Nut sizes?
Minor Nuts are 3/8"W Spanner if I recall correctly, an a 18mm Socket fits.
I think you're right, 18mm is not a size used on modern metric vehicles.

Re: Wheel nut covers
The wheel nut covers shown are the sort of covers I need the only thing is they are either too loose or won't go on. I might go down the route of mg chrome nuts instead.

Re: Wheel nut covers
Years ago I fitted some bling tyre valve caps on my Audi. They looked very nice with the Audi logo but they seized horribly!

Re: Wheel nut covers
Alloy valve caps commonly seize, good old dissimilar metal and water

Re: Wheel nut covers
Just as a note: You shouldn't really use standard Minor 1000 nuts to secure Midget wheels. The angle of the taper is different so you have much less engagement
The correct nuts will perform much better.
