Someone stole my...

[Eddie Zedder]

Yep, only on the locking bolt on mine.

 

[Nifty Fifty]

I lost mine, so come up with these!

Are they shotgun cartridge ends? Clever job if they are!

 

[Nifty Fifty]

Yes they are. My neighbour is a keen shooter and gave me a bagful. A tub of brasso and a bit of elbow grease they came up treat.
I left them on too long over the winter without removing them and they are now tarnished.
With the shooting season starting I've asked for silver cartridges this year and will laquer them to see if they last any longer. A cheap solution and not every ones taste but I think they look great.

Great ingenuity on your part, like it!

A kid at work had some of these last year Andy, as you say they need some TLC to keep them looking nice.

That's terrible Faheem

That's strange I have only ever had them on my locking nuts...
I've put some gloss black ones on now though

Hi Davyhoogy, do you have a side photo of your Z? I was thinking to plastidip my wheels black, and like to see how black wheels looks like on the Z.

That looks pretty cool!

 

[Davyhoogy]

The wheels aren't plain black they're painted grey then mixed black with metal flake, and painted on quite thin, so in the sun they sparkle, but not jet black

And you may have seen that better if the picture was outside

 

[Zimmerzed]

I don't understand why anyone would do that. They left my dust caps alone, I'd rather they took the dust caps to be completely honest. Why they would nick my wheel nut caps is beyond me. And why would they then have the courtesy to leave one on every tyre... 

Obviously nicked by someone with only four studs on each wheel.

Got a few, but only for the locking bolts
