  • Anodized Wheel Nuts?

    Hey guys i have just gotten new white LENSO 15" LIGHT S2s for my 08 SWIFT with Potenza GIIIs in 195/60/R15 tires. (More on that later, will include pics also.)

    I am facing a peculiar problem, my Swift came with oem alloys and now that i have upgraded to the lensos, the wheel nuts are fitting very snuggly into the tire holes. The work was done at Saifee’s in Mumbai and they fitted the tires but now my wheel spanner, isnt able to fit on the OEM wheel nuts. Its almost rubbing the walls of the holes. I am afraid i will either scratch the brand new wheels or damage the head of these nuts.

    I would like to know if anyone has been using or has any information about anodized wheel nuts. Also which are better the anodized wheel nuts or the longer powder coated lug nuts.
    Where can i get them in mumbai or from where i can source them?
    What colours are these available in?
    Any and all information will be appreciated. Also which are better lug nut or regular hex nuts?
    I am attaching some pictures of these i found online.
    Team-bhp Pandits Kindly advise.
