Coloured Wheel Bolts?

[Alex_225]

Can you get them to fit the RS Twingo??

I've seen plenty of them for the Jap cars, the ones that bolt onto a thread thats fitted to the hub but not the ones we have on the Renaults. I don't know what the technical names for them are.

Just kinda fancied some for my Gordini but in an annodised blue, thought they'd look good against the white rims. :?

Your thinking of a stud conversion ? That's what the name is.

Oooo sounds interesting!! I want black!

Hasn't Karl got them cover things for his wheel bolts? Couldn't u get some of them done instead?

 

[Karl]

Thats a good point Davey! Wheel bolt covers

I've been looking at the polar race nuts

I've done the conversion to studs on my car as it makes it easier to swap wheels at the track. Pretty straight forward, and now fitted with fully black nuts, just looks much better quality than standard bolts!
I should have a look if I have a picture somewhere since the change.

I found some burnt titanium wheel nuts which look good, going from silver to blue/purple on the ends... although they would be overkill for the Twingo and realy rather expensive

Yotah. What length studs did you fit?

I was looking for some a while back but tbh didn't do very much at all. I would be interested in black or white. Anything better than what's there now!

+1 on the black ones

Spray them

Not really a solution. The way they are handled Means they would ideally need powder coating or some finish that is more durable than simply painting

Spank you James

They need to be treated especially, probably why they attract such a premium over regular bolts. Plus they're attractive and people want them so the price will naturally increase.

60mm, and that's right enough in the front, gives a bit extra in the rear, so all fits. I'll get a picture soon.

I had to go for longer studs in the front as they stopped further back than the rear studs.
50mm in back and 60mm in front.
Going for Muteki Racing nuts in NEO Chrome eventually

I have a full set of studs left over, need to cut down the front 8 though.
