    Much better, Mine are rusty as well but i just stuck some covers on as they are much cheaper LOL


    You wheels are filthy though :wink:
     
  3. looks loads better

    ive done this on my 225 although the one missing for the wheel locking nut seems like a glaring omission. are these not available from somewhere? cant see why they wouldnt come with the set of covers.
     
  4. TPI do black lockers as do mcGuard

    I would recommend the McGuard ones over the TPi ones. Ive seen several sets of TPI bolts/lockers with corrosion on them. Certainly not what you would expect after paying that much for them tbh
     
  6. got any links at all for the best ones?
     
  7. They are covers :smiley:

    And that's not filthy..,. They are sparkling it's the reflection of my gravel driveway!!!

    They are filthy on the inside :wink: Joys of gloss black wheels is that they show up dirt so easy, Glad mine are Satin
     
  9. Well that's what I get for taking it to the Polish lmao :wink:

    I find the Albanians do a much better job
     
  11. Do a search on ebay for saab locking wheel nut covers. There the same locking nut as the megane 250
     
  12. Another common fault on Meganes, rusty wheel nuts :wink:
     
  13. Does this apply for megane 225 aswell?
     
  14. You will have bite the bullet and check mate
     
  15. @sarah_casper Linky for the covers?
     
  16. Search eBay for wheel bolt covers. I'd assume that yours are 19mm
     
  17. Harpo, there 17mm on the mk3 megs.
     
  18. Thanks for clearing that up. My Mk2 is 19mm.
     
  19. May have to do this but the only ones i can see are black saab ones and ideally i need chrome
     
  20. Just got a set of tpi polarised bolts on mine, they look sweet but the wheels are filthy atm!
     
  21. I've got black TPI on my 250, I used to have the covers, which were fine, but much prefer the black bolts. I've had them on since April and no signs of corrosion so far, although will be keeping an eye on them....

  25. Nath84.. Speak to tpi ... They will send you a link to their ebay listing and you can buy through there... What car you got?
     
  26. I got mine from TPi, give them a bell, very helpful when I spoke to them:

  27. I have a 06 225
     
  28. That's the ones I got for my r26 which I believe is the same thread pattern
