    Wheel Nuts

    Probably a silly question but where could I get new wheel nuts for the Defender and what exactly would I need to ask for, if I was just at a generic nut place as opposed to a LR dealer.

    If they would have to come from a dealer - how much (he is almost afraid to ask) are they worth ?

    Steel wheels I assume?
    #RRD500010 new aren't cheap (around $15-$20 each 8O from LR dealer). They're pretty much all the same - early RR, SI Disco. Any LR wrecker should have stacks of these.
    I doubt aftermarket nuts would be available for standard LR wheels. Not much demand/unusual size :? .

    8O 8O I didn't know there was a difference :!: 8O 8O

    Anyone out there who has fitted Disco wheels to their Defender what is your experience?

    Obviously the studs are the same (as I KNOW these wheels are frequently fitted to Defenders) so what is the difference in the nuts :?:
