I'm looking for some Chrome/Silver ones that will not tarnish or rust as I'm sick of the crap zinc coated ones. I'm on my 2nd set (1st set was replaced after 3 weeks) and they are rubbish.
Been trying to find a set of extended alloy nuts for mt 07 STi for a while... think they are sometimes called 'tuner nuts' in certain places. They look great and will remove the problem of touching my alloys when I try to remove the wheels as space is a bit tight on my Rotas. 
Cheers,
Grant

lol some interest then
Darms, be interested to see your pics
My preference is for internal drive as I have some nice new very light, rare and expensive ris I'm about to get re-painted
Although if the price is right I'd be happy with regular nuts.
Agree re the extended nuts, unless you are gpng for a stud upgrade to match they are pointless anyway
Any wish lists as far as specific manufacturers go?

Can you let me know the supplier details (I'd be interested in a set of locking nuts too), and how long they took to arrive...I'm imagining the blue ones on my car already
Just so you know they aren't any easier to fit tightening wise for protecting the fixing holes.
The look cool though
depending on where you get them from customs will want a piece of the action.
I have the Extended Rays which I prefer purely on styling

I've emailed the seller will keep ya posted
I was gonna go for the blue ones but they were a bit too light in colour so opted for Red instead. As for receiving them I got them in a 7 days or so

I was going to do it the other day but they are boxed still at the back of the garage under 3 other wheels and I thought bugger it I will do it another day. I want to put some rubber on them too but I am focused on the classic at the moment. I think I have 15 wheels in the garage currently soon to be 19 !!! 3 sets each per car and 3 spares in total

I was gonna go with black but I seem to have lots of anodised blue bits in the engine bay\underneath the car so blue for me

get your nuts on your car and post some pics...be interested to hear how much clearance you have when fitting them...what rims are you running?
