is there a website i can see all the available colours of the rays nuts? im still undecided what colour to get

also, is there any disadvantage in getting the long nuts when you only have standard studs (for thetime being)?

EDIT: also, does your honk kong connection stock these Volk Racing Centre Caps - Type GT Low? Would be a nice finishing touch for the car!

generally they will be around a third of steel versions, i don't know the actual weight of RAYS nuts but I'm sure a quick Google would answer your question

some of the links show most of the colours, I'm only interested in Blue so haven't looked into it. My wheels are Direzza's so I'm won't be running a GB for Volks centre caps, feel free to contact them though as they may be able to help.

I don't suppose there is a disadvantage to running the extended nuts with standard studs but again its not something I've looked into because I'll be running extended studs

OK, new GB costs from Aztec (BOB'5), these appear slightly dearer initially than those of the Hong Kong supplier but it means not having to mess around with import duty, VAT and shipping.

Prices £77.70 + £5 delivery. All payments made by Friday 6pm and delivery expected week commencing 09.06.08. GB based on min 10 sets. A link to payment options can be found here;

ScoobyNet Group Buy Specials - HIDs (Xenon) Lighting Kits + RAYS Lightweight Wheel Nuts

Yep, they'll all be standard length.

Let me know if you want the extended ones (+£2).

Trails and Frayz have already let me know about theirs
