Wheel nuts
Hi all,
Any advice on replacement wheel nuts? LR? OEM? Aftermarket?
I’m ready for another set. Ideally quality rather than low cost.

Re: Wheel nuts
Advanced factors would probably be my first port of call! Though I think the last set I bought were genuine LR via ebay!

Re: Wheel nuts
You could also try LR Parts (lrparts.net) - they are sometimes a little cheaper.
I use them but they are only up the road from me.

Re: Wheel nuts
Thanks gents.
Am I missing something? Why can’t you buy kits with 16 normal and 4 locking nuts? Why would I want 20 in a set?

Re: Wheel nuts
One possible reason is some (myself included) prefer not to use locking wheel nuts so gives options.
I have one locking wheel nut but that's on the spare on the swing out wheel carrier.

I did think about that but I’m not a very trusting person

Re: Wheel nuts
One reason is they are a bitch to remove if they seize on - which is common.
Second reason, they are not often nicked as lifting a disco is not that easy!

Re: Wheel nuts
Same reasons as Mark gives - if the locking nuts seize the're a pig to get off - especially if you're in the back end of nowhere with a flat.
I live and park in Liverpool - I work on the basis that if the scallies want the wheels they'll get them regardless.
It's the under slung and carrier mounted spares that are most vulnerable - so I use a guard and a locking nut on them.

Re: Wheel nuts
Thanks again folks.
I got some from eBay claiming to be genuine Land Rover (with a price to match) but I’m not convinced.
What do we think?
