Frayz, I think you need to sort your centre caps out. they dont match the rest of the wheel colour

Guys, where did you buy the Rays wheels nuts and how much where they?
Are they aluminium?

One is of the original cap, the other is when I made some black ones up to compliment the Black nuts
STI Wheel Nut Set (Black)
ST28170ST020
I got mine from the USA, Edo Performance.
these cost me about £150 i think they RRP about £200
Not sure where the other guys bought their RAYs nuts but I have used this site in the past for a lot of stuff:

Question for all the guys with Rays nuts.
Have any of you had problems with the nuts discolouring? I have had mine on for 2 years now but within the first year they discoloured from Blue to a patchy White
. I don't use any solvent cleaners on the wheels just hot soapy water and a soft bristle brush
You can just make it out in the pic below all four wheels have the same problem.

Will short nuts be OK for these alloys?
They are prodrive GT1 ones.
Please let me know as I need to order soon!

You know me, I like to show my nuts off

Mugard Spline lug nuts...the best!

Yes, but I would go for a small edge on the 60 deg tapper if I were you. OEM wheels tend to have a shorter seat.
I just ordered these from Keith @ Revolution and they are internal drive to protect the shaft

I am not sure what you mean by 'small edge on the 60 degree tapper'
Do you think the Rays ones will be a bit too wide for the OE wheels then?
The only potential problem with the above is that it needs a 12mm allen key whereas the 'standard' Ultralite External Nut (first on top of page:
Revolution ) looks more like the OE ones.
How come these are so much cheaper than the Rays ones?
Cheers

£££ Because they are Rays !
They come with the internal drive key
Rays would fit fine. Look at your OEM nuts and you will see a shorter 60 degree taper.
Longer in a shorter is fine but shorter in a longer can carve up the wheel seat depending on the nut.
For example Frayz's speedline wheels come with shorter taper nuts for the speedline fitment, but the Rays work fine
