RS2 wheel nuts

[Shirish]

Didnt realise that the tyre fitting place had used an airgun to remove the wheel nuts when i specifically told them not to

Anyone got a source for the alloy wheel nuts for an RS2. VAG parts seemed quite expensive at 5.46 +vat. Type-911 have them up for 2.20 +vat. They look the same, but not sure if they are?

Type-911


Any thoughts?

I got mine of Ebay but anodizing isn't great, had same problem with a tyre place using a gun after telling not to so got £20 out of them for new ones, only use the Porsche locking nuts all others tend to fail on removal after a while then you have to cut them off
