I have lugnuts with the stupid caps. I want to replace with solid lugnuts. Not sure where to get and what I need as I see there are 2 types...cone and another. 2008 XK
Help please

 

Get the cone, it facillitates centering.

 

Search this forum. You’ll find many have gone with Toyota (or maybe it was Lexus) solid nuts, but stick with this 2-piece (nut & washer) ‘mag’ style nut. I think ‘Gorilla’ was another popular brand, but don’t recall how they held up over time.

 

I have used dpdrivenproducts https://www.drivenproducts.com/ for all of my Jaguar's and other vehicles that use the capped wheel nuts. I have had excellent experiences with their products.

 

These are original wheels. I just read to use flat seat for originals and cones for after markets.

 

I got a set of the Toyota ones probably ten years ago. They are still in perfect condition.

 

@coldpad1 What is on the car now? Flat or coned?

 

see pics...flat

 

They're all over the place. Here's one at parts geek. Solid. Mine have lasted for years. The OEM are crap.

I've found great price but they don't have the washers. To get the washers you have to buy them individually and it doubles the price of a set

 

Likewise with a few of veterans here Toyota lugs over this way as well

 

I bought these for 07 XKR and 09 SV8. Require 1 size larger socket, 19mm I think.

 

I have to go back to look at what I bought but mine are one piece and feel "right" for the car...easy to use, no more lug wrench slipping.

 

These are black gorilla lug nuts on my 2013. part number73138JBC x20. They have been on the car since 2023. No corrosion. I believe they have a black oxide finish. They were $85 plus shipping.

 

I fitted the exact same Gorilla lug nuts to my F-Type some 8 or 9 years ago now and never had a single problem with them. No chipping, wear or fading either they still look like new even after dozens of removals and refitting.
