I ordered mine seperate to this group buy DOH! but mine arrived this morning. Gold ones well actually a kind of nasty orange. Not impressed. they just will not match my gold OZ superleggras.
In fact on checking the scott lowe picture on the first page of this thread (taken i believe from scott lowe website) the nuts are not the same shape or colour. Spoke to Scott Lowe and they are going to exchange them. Hope they dont take as long as these did to arrive.

I used real gold to show the difference, my wheels are much closer to the real gold colour.

Eeeeerm, that's not a very nice gold colour.

My black ones turned up yesterday after a long wait and they're much longer than I expected but still ok. Not one of my better buys though, I'd have to say.

Still, you can't please all of the people all of the time I suppose.

When I spoke to Scott Lowe I mentioned they are not the same as the ones advertised, he said that this is just how this batch came through but shorter ones could be requested on special order.

Did APC deliver? if so I should get mine tomorrow. Red is ordered but looks like I might get a PINK or purple at seeing the gold!

Sods law, always happens, phoned APC and asked if they could deliver after 2pm tomorrow, when I'll be in, bet they arrive at 5 to 2!

Still don't have wheels for them so they'll sit looking pretty until then!

Thanks for the GB! :-)

What are people using to tighten their nuts so as to not scratch off the powder coating ?

They aren't powder coated they are anodised, I used my normal wheel brace and took my time.

Well my plummy reddy coloured nuts turned up on friday morning, thought they were to be red? but to be honest I prefer the colour they are!

Thanks again for the GB and might give SL another go and get something else for the car.

Got my nuts today!!! (non GB order). Very nice and uber lightweight. What's a decent socket to use to fit into aftermarket wheels? I know some use the stock, but i'd like something a bit smaller in OD.

Tried to fit mine yesterday and my after-market alloy design wont allow enough space to get a wheel brace round them

Anyone wanna buy a set of red ones off me? If so, PM me!
