Just stating the obvious and would you seriously have a set of these if you had a bad batch I think not I know I personally wouldnt and I had these nuts for three days before I sold them to cannon simply because they wouldn't of looked that good with my wheels (me being fussy I bought a set of d spec)

I couldn't possibly comment on that, but does seem a good place to purchase some looky likey parts and then sell them on...

Genuine HKS SSQV 3's are a real bargain on there, perhaps I should buy some myself and then make a killing on here - wait a second isn't that already happening?

Well I have bought a set of Rays Volks Formula wheel nuts - not cheap at around £170 per set but do a google search and partsbox.com have them on offer for around £120 per set.

Or do an eBay search and they also have them on there I did a best offer and got them for £100 plus shipping.

LOL

That link is the one I found the other day when I googled 'fake blox wheel nuts'

I see 'someone' on here likes selling fake bits. I thought I recognised the name from the fake apexi gauges in the for sale secton. The fake apexi gauges are shockingly bad lol. I see they are on that site too..

It looks like you've most certainly received fake blox wheel nuts if they came via this source. I see blox don't even do that finish anyway?
