South Africa 2013 Range Rover Sport Supercharged Siberian Silver
Uncapped aftermarket wheel nuts

Hi everyone,

After a fraught experience changing my Defender's tyre in a field and stripping one wheel nut, I am considering getting a set of these/similar for the RRS so that the caps don't become a problem.

Anyone done this and can recommend/not?

Thanks --

I have a full set of solid wheel nuts on my RRS. Not sure of the source as they were on there when I bought it from DrRob (forum member).

Makes sense to get rid of the silly capped nuts that fail with regularity. I remember changing a couple of blown nuts with new LR ones, and even being really gentle with them, using a correctly set torque spanner etc., they still came loose after a few weeks. Rubbish, rubbish design. 2012 SDV6 - it's missing a couple of cylinders
2008 TDV8 - it was a labour of love and is much missed

sure, but the Wrington stuff looks like quality product, not sure about these eBay sellers and their cheap Chinese parts.

The RRS is a heavy car and I often drive it hard, last thing I want is wheel nuts going poof on me when driving --

Thanks Andy, but these are capped, and that's what I'm trying to get away from. --

But the picture shows capped nuts? And if they are Genuine LR nuts, as the descriptions says, then they are capped?

Hello there,
Thanks for your enquiry,
These are one piece nuts that have been powder coated black. The capped wheel nuts tend to simply fall off.
