here's a mail I received from ralph at Milsport;
"Hi Ian,
Attached are the pictures although I do not have an image of the "normal" type in Black, black is black !!!
Regular type nuts will be £32.50 per set plus the P&P at around £4.00 per parcel sent direct to each individual by Royal Mail recorded 1st class.
Prices are:
Normal type (any colour) £32.50 per set (20)
Tuner style (any colour) £42.50 per set (20)
I am just about to do another order with the company I use in the states so if we get any interest I can increase it to cover.
Ralph"

Dont like the idea of the tuner style as there is a 6 steel point drive socket driving an aluminium 12 point nut.
Smells like agro waiting to happen to me??

Just thought I would pop by and have a look if there is any interest.
I do not understand why the company uses this picture.
In fact the tuner nuts have a 10 pointed/sided internal drive with a matching 10 sided tool supplied, in fact it is very similar if not identical to the one in the link above

Are these any good/cheaper..?
eBay.co.uk Shop - JPS Trading Limited: Wheels: New Volk Racing Rays GTM 19 IS250 IS350 V35 G35 RX8 RX7
I'd prefer silver, but looks like it's not available, so black would be 2nd choice..
In what way are the security nuts secure, IYSWIM..?
Some nice ones here too:
