I just ordered a set of McGard Tough Lug Nuts, these are guaranteed not to rust or tarnish. They are made in the US but you can buy direct from McGard in Germany.

McGard Wheel lock nuts - hex nuts

I have a set of Rays Extended lugs/nuts in blue but they are hellish rare and i've been waiting 5 months for the buggers. Lovely bit of kit though. Got them from JDM Parts, JDM Racing Accessories, Twin Plate Clutch, Turbo Kit, Fuel Injectors & other Motor Parts!

I've had another response, if need to provide the supplier with a wish list of manufacturers and colour. I want blue nuts (), so please add your preference to the list below and once I have a few replies I'll see what prices they can offer us.

1. trails; Rays(including security nuts) - blue

2. trails; Work RS locking nuts - blue

Glad to see Trails is hoping to get a GB sorted.

Just a word of warning - the Rays come in two sizes, Extended and Short - order the correct ones for ya wheels.

had a reply already!

JPS will have the postage costs with five people but will only send to one address...they may offer further discounts if we have more people too. I'll chase the US supplier and see what they say too.
