Yet more help I need please guys, I have been looking but cannot find any wheel nut covers, I have 19in msport 5 twin spoke alloys, I'm sure you know the ones I mean, I'm looking for grey ones, has anyone bought these before or know where to get them from? I have checked ebay but cant seem to find any compatible, please help. Thanks :)
 
Are these what you are looking for ?

I bought some smoked chrome black, think that's the closest to grey, unless you paint them.
And of course they won't fit the security bolt.
 
Bought some of the Chrome ones from ebay. Didn't even complete fitting to 1x wheel as they just cracked when fitting. :thumbsdown:
 
I know mines an E85, but I just gave mine a clean using the bench grinder wire wheel, and then a few spray coats of satin black metal protectant paint, and they look great...

These are the type I bought off ebay

They fit really well and just clean up the look of the wheels .
The problem I found with painting wheel nuts is when you remove them, the socket seems to leave marks on the nut/bolt
 
Mine can be seen here:

And have now replaced the security with std. nut to accept cover.

Really - removed the security of the wheels and tyres? Makes no sense to me on >£1,000' of wheels and tyres, even if it only gives and extra 10 minutes of protection.
 
I have a set of smoked grey plastic ones off ebay 17mm which I've had some years now and swap them from car to car, would agree though a little crazy replacing the locking wheel nut with a standard nut just to take the cover :|

Rarely park anywhere not secure so not worried.
Can easily fit them for long term parking if need be.
