Windy Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 I've just bought a used set of Mondeo Zetec alloys to replace the steel wheels it was fitted with, I am led to believe that the alloys use different nuts? Does anyone have any ideas of the quality of aftermarket parts if I require replacements or do I try to get a used set of genuine nuts?

stef123 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Yes the nuts are indeed different. I bought a set of steel wheels for winter tyres, I got the steel wheel nuts off a car being broken up for spares so they are genuine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Windy Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Thanks for that, just done a bit of digging and realised that it is indeed the case just never gave it a thought when I bought them. I know a place that breaks Ford's nearby so will pop in and sort it out, Aftermarket nuts are readily available but are they of the quality of qenuine nuts? I doubt it to be honest. it's easy enough to make a set of M12 x 1.5 nuts, but it's easy to cut the quality of the material and costs of the treatments to get the tensile strength and finish required. Answered my own question then really!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
