Alloy Wheel Question was created by Rob991
Hi,

I've just bought a 2003 Jimny and I'm having trouble finding which wheel / locking nuts fit this car. From what I can tell they are a standard Jimny option but I can't find any reference as to the name of the alloy or the nuts I need to replace.

This is a really close up photo of a wheel - I just need to know the make / model of the alloy so I can find the nuts associated with it.

Thanks in advance,
Rob

I think this is the problem. I thought Jakarta but they are too rounded !

I’m at a loss, spent £60 so far on various nuts!

No eBay APP ID and/or Cert ID defined in Kunena configurationI got really annoyed with the locking wheel nut, lost the key so had to weld a nut onto them to get them off...
bought a set of these and had no problem with fitment.
Wanted a 5th jakarta as a spare , until i saw its like £125 just for one .
Did search google images and alloy wheel suppliers to id yours. did find pics but no name.
Was impressed that the jakartas have "suzuki" stamped on the inside, and made in germany.

I'm pretty sure they aren't the Jakarta wheel, I've attached two images of the wheel locking nuts. You'll see how different they are to the ones (I've got a stock pile of them currently ) :)

Which ones dont you think are jakarta?
The locking wheel nuts i took off which look identical to genuine suzuki dont have that protrusion or locating dowel? like yours at the end of the taper. The taper centralises the nut to the hole either way.
