Default Anyone ever had a wheel nut replaced?

I was down at my dealers yesterday to pick a few things up, at the same time I showed the warranty/service guy my corroding centre cap which he was quite happy to take a picture of and get replaced under warranty (he said that 2 months ago as well mind )

Anyways after that I showed him two of my wheel nuts that have started to go rusty and asked if he could get me two of them under warranty.

There was no way he was going to get me two new wheel nuts without falling out about it so I never bothered in the end as they are only a few

My dealer gave me the 4 original nuts that they took off to fit the locking wheel nuts, so I suppose if I were to get rusty nuts I'll be OK for a while.

I tend to find a bit of T-Cut cleans them up.

Personally I wouldn't have bothered.

I had them but I gave them to my mate for his DC2 before mine went rusty - doh

AL - The chromes flaked off so no can do

Vixen - I know but I thought he may just give me two he had knocking about somewhere

I know it's something and nothing but I don't like rusty nuts

It would have cost more in petrol to drive to the dealer!
