Chambers Posted February 17, 2014 Author Share Posted February 17, 2014 They look similar to some of the ones that I have on but done fancy chrome ones as they dont stay that wayI was thinking of these if they will be any good?http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-x-Stainless-Mini-MG-Midget-Sprite-Taper-Wheel-Nuts-/161227628175?pt=UK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET&fits=Cars+Type%3A1500%7CModel%3ASpitfire&hash=item2589ea5e8f Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
