Ok, so I bought some Zetec wheels, and now I need nuts to suit...anyone know the best place to get them? I'll call Ford tomorrow and get a price, but I imagine it'll be terrifying...

For my LR Focus when I asked for a price on the chrome nuts they wanted $25 each I had a heart attack. So I just bought the 17" MP3 wheel for $120 and it came with 4 nuts and tyre valve.

Heh, good try, but the trouble with the Zetec nuts is that they have an extended shank to fit inside the bore of the stud hole, and an oversized taper. The standard wheel nuts are too small and cut into the taper... I called Ford, they're $11 each...and I need 20! Coventries can do genuine ones for $8 each, or $7 for the non-dome ones. Still way too much. Still on the hunt! -RM.

I was under the presumption that the Zetec wheels would have been the same nuts as the Ford LX rims. Guess I was wrong! |
