Desperate help wheel nuts. was created by Fossie
Visiting the other daughter , it turns out that a locking wheel nut has gone missing . She had just the front brakes done and the chap couldn't torque up a wheel nut :ohmy: .
We have searched for some of these wheel nuts but drawn a blank.
I managed to swap some round so all the front are tight.. But 1 on the back ...the original missing one is cross threaded which I recut to suit but will need a new stud.
The wheel nuts where/are Suzuki aftermarket accessories to suit the wheels .( They came with th car and the wheel nuts in a Suzuki box)
Now this is where we need help we can't find them or anything like , except 1 seller on eBay ..out of stock.
We will replace all 20.
First picture to show the wheels which are a deep dish.
The next to show length on shank .
19mm head
Same ID as other Jimny ..
Against a normal stud.
Thanks .

So it seems these wheel nuts are no longer produced, in fact the very helpful chap at TRS searched many different suppliers, there are only 19 left and they want £120 for them:laugh: :ohmy: :evil:
He came up with a solution of changing the studs to take 1.5 instead of 1.25 which is a solution .....but so is finding another set of alloys and regular wheel nuts!
Just wondering if Suzuki have a batch stuffed in a corner in a share house in Holland ?
The simplistest jobs take the longest!:whistle:
