T-Works large surface M4 wheel nuts

T-Works have introduced their new large surface M4 wheel nuts with serrated back section. The fasteners are machined from high-quality 7075-T6 aluminium and their design with an increased diameter, that acts like an additional shim, ensures improved wheel fitment on the hub as the rims are less prone to wobble during hard cornering or when running on high-bite surfaces. The non-directional serration on the back side ensures the nuts stay on place and will not coming loose during normal operation. The wheels nuts come in packs of four, in the five colours of light blue, black, red, orange and gun metal and they are usable with a wide range of on-road and off-road rims.
