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) |

I had my lug bolts cerakoted and have the same issue. @rhodyguy "A better solution is re-anodize the long 19mm headed lugs and use a soft socket." By soft socket do you mean one with a liner in it or a soft metal socket? Where to purchase? The only protective sockets I have found have plastic sleeves on the outside to protect the rim, but not the lug bolt head. I thought of just running a single layer of electrical tape or white medical tape on the outside of the lug bolt for removal/installation. Zims Autotechnik has soft sockets. The inner portion is soft (well, softer than steel). Ask for Aaron. |
