Hey-de-ho,

Assuming I find the appropriate wheel studs for my Fuchs (see http://forums.aussieveedubbers.com/viewtopic.php?tid=89635), I will then be looking for locking nuts.

I have the correct EMPI wheel nuts already, but no way to stop the wheels from being nicked. Ideally I would want them to near as possible have the same look, so have any of you got any advice or ideas?

Oh yeah, the nuts look like this . . .
