Full Version: Tte Chicane Alloys

Well at long last tomorrow morning I shall be getting some rubber put on my 18" TTE Chicane Alloys. So today I got them ready to go...........wheel caps check, lock nuts check, wheel nuts check.......hold on, something not right wacko.gif

It turns out I have 3 sets of one style nut and 1 set of another style. blink.gif So after allowing for the lock nuts and using the spare nuts over, I'm now 1 nut short of a complete set all the same, see pic......Eeesh!



So can anyone help me out here, because it's going to drive me nuts (no pun intended) having one odd one? I'm after the shorter nut on the left which has a dimple in the top of it. I know a few of you guys have picked these wheels up, so if you have a spare nut of this style please let me know.

Thanks guys.

I'm fitting a set of these very soon also. What nuts have you got? Are they the normal Lexus ones or the thinner ones?

My set came with an odd set too ......... three sets the same ..... the one different set.

Maybe it was the same batch ? sleepy.gif wacko.gif

So which + where did sets did you get?


Thinking anodized blue but probably wont go with the wheels sleepy.gif

The wheels were from a seller on Ebay who has had quite a few auctions for TTE wheels, nuts come with the wheels, centre caps etc.

Hey Scareface that's odd eh?? Boxes were sealed so I guess they don't check the contents.............Oh well just thought I'd ask and see if anyone had a spare one the same. Chances are someone will get 4 sets the same and have spares once they fit the lock nuts wacko.gif

Next up in the next week or so will be the TTE front bumper to match the rear TTE skirt fitted last week, then it's either lowering springs or exhaust smile.gif

Hando, went for Dunlop SP Sport 9000's, got them trough a friend of a friend of a friend etc etc which is why it took so bloody long.........but worth the wait.

Yeah I always admired Chris's car as well.
