But you never know what can happen up here in the wild west

You wont regret it....
Do you think some low life monkey is going to be able to remove a Land Rover Defender wheel in a timely manner??? especially if there is a Discovery 3/4, RRS, Grand Cherokee right next to it with no locking nuts and insanely expensive alloys on it.

Daz, they're more likely to die trying to remove the D4 wheel - unless they have a better jack [emoji41]

Coming from TMD Tuning in the UK after they found a cheaper way to ship than their automated checkout offered. They replied to my emails promptly every time and have been pretty helpful.

Cheers to all for this advice - as a first time owner I could have been up a well known creek if I was out whoop whoop with locking nuts.

Does anyone know if the TMD Tuning wheel nuts are stainless or plain steel?

I was looking at these ones
Land Rover with Alloy Wheels
But the black ones are plain steel, and the stainless ones are silver
I know I'm being picky!

When I did mine I bought them from Roverlord.

I would hope like hell they are alloy. I was looking at these ones too - which are: ANR2763BLACK - Black Alloy Wheel Nut | LR Parts

If you end up talking to TMD, they are at some auto show for the next week but you should talk to this guy about a cheaper shipping option than their system offers:

(don't know why the email isn't TMD)

The nuts aren't Alloy. They're for Alloy wheels [emoji6]

Well there you go. I have soft nuts. Hope I'll be able to get a firm grip on them.

Hahaha

Better than swollen nuts. :p

Funny how such a trivial thread proved topical, no such thing as a silly question
