Safrane was linking to the covers he had great results with his on his Volvo. This was from my earlier post above…

Ha, sorry lovely cheers

Reading thru this post do I sense that wheel nuts are being tightened beyond the recommended torque ? Wheel nuts should never be tight. For alloy wheels 40 - 50 ft. lbs. is adequate. I agree that rattle guns should never be used.
Obviously you should all migrate to Spain,your ghastly Pommie weather even destroys chrome.

I did paint mine, then 2 years later i have zinc plated them, looks good, will have to see how long they last. You can do this your self I should create a guide how to do it

I recall that there was a debate on here a few years ago about being cautious using SS wheel bolts due to their possible fragility?

I don't remember the exact details, but I think someone had one snap and they concluded that SS is the wrong type of metal to be used in such high torque & stress applications.

I do agree though that the chromed Maserati bolts for the 3200 and indeed the GT leave a lot to be desired and you can do better than OEM

Indeed. Stainless is more susceptible to fatigue and galling. Much as I like shiny bolts, I prefer to have wheels on my car

I used plastic chrome caps on my Mercedes. Worked treat.

I was wondering how they looked. I posted a link to them up above and may well give them a go at around £15, it wouldn’t be much of a risk.

I remember in the good old days, HR Owen would replace rusty ones gratis when the car came in for a major service or work…. those days are long gone.

This is the only photo i can find of the wheel caps. I might still have them in the cupboard if you want them for the cost of postage - will have to check I might have chucked them out

@FIFTY thanks for sharing the photo and that’s tremendously kind of you, thank you! However I have a QP V and am having my wheels re-sprayed a darker chrome colour and was going to buy the caps in a slightly darker colour to match.

If you still have them then I hope another member will be able to take advantage of your offer!

These guys did my GS bolts about 5 yr ago, still no rust but I don’t let a monkey with an impact gun near it.

Out of interest, do you mind posting how much this cost?
