I have a clean set of stock silver Fuchs (4x130) that I will be keeping that way as long as I own my 914. Unpolished, unpainted.
However, I have another set of Fuchs (also 4x130) that I recently acquired that I'm getting cleaned up and painted black like the pic below I found online. The center caps will be painted black as well. But I don't want to paint my lug nuts (as I'm sure they would look beat up as soon as the wheels were installed by the socket). Thus, I'm wondering if anybody has found any lug nut covers/caps that would snap on to the stock Fuchs lug nuts. Obviously I would be looking for black caps or have to paint the caps black to match the wheels. Thanks in advance. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Ok. Carry a pair of smooth faced pliers in the glove box. I have never seen a pair of pliers with no teeth buddy. Where do I buy a pair pal? Thing is, the caps for the 19mm headed bolts are a real tight fit. So grab that softer than the pliers plastic with the toothless pliers, squzee hard, wiggle and pull at the same time. I would buy 2 sets of the caps so replacements are close at hand
A better solution is re-anodize the long 19mm headed lugs and use a soft socket. |
