So you sayin these are cheap tat? How much is “acceptable for wheel nuts”. Please enlighten me.

OK lesson learned.

Erm.... Note to self: Wheels on for 2 years = car not looked after properly. Avoid any cars this guy might sell in the future!! (Although judging by this post he does have a phenomenal sense of humour).

Who the f*ck is Ray anyway?
Easy tiger, oh the irony.

Just for info Ray is leaving this group buy open.

Please note though if you like westwood (what an apt name lol) and have a lack of common sense, please don't purchase.

In response to someone on here saying “I lack common sense”. And a note from Ray saying “...And it takes just normal 19mm socket, its standard tools of a tool box should have...”

In the pictures here the left nut was installed using the Impreza wheel brace. You can see the ding half way down because the socket only comes half way down the nut. Fair enough. That was stupid. I then ran to Halfords (it was late) and got a proper wheel nut socket to remove it.

The right nut was installed and removed using the new nut socket. You can see where the ribbed bits have squashed down.

The 2 pictures are of the same nuts front & back.

Guys I'm really sorry if you are not happy with the quality of these nuts.

After all the hard work I put in I suppose I got a bit pee'd off.

Definately will not be doing another group buy.

Hopefully you can all get your money back by selling on.

Anyone who can be bothered to go through the pain & hassle of organising a group buy gets my vote any day. Don’t be put off organising another.

Didn’t mean to get my nuts in a twist with you last night. Apologies to you too.

Update from Ray:
-----------------------
Hi Westwood2006,

This is Ray again. We have communicated on the issue.
Would issue 80% of the Refund on this product, we need your understand that all import parts is sold as and we are unable to issue full refund as company policy stated that
faulty item are not accept after installation. And all import parts are sold as and not assume to have warranty etc for physical product ( non-eletronic ).
Especially we offered big discount for group buy and its nearly half of the orginal price.

Please advise and we will handle shortly. Any problem or futher concerns, please feel free to write us again

kind regards
RAY A.

Paid on 17th April, still not received mine

On a side note: Aluminium/Steel compound type, lightweight lug nuts will get scuffed & scratched up when torquing up to e.g. 70ft/lbs etc. I know its not ideal but to be expected IMO.

Get on to him and hassle!

Scuffed and scratched I can accept. Dinged and squashed I can not!
