I've just fitted the Muteka SR48s in red and they are a huge disappointment - they mark very easily and the anodised coating scratches off very easily:(

i agree jon. not so sure annodised coating is a good idea for wheel nuts

its more quality i am after,there is alot of cheap copies of d1's about the search continues........... |
i paid over £100 for a set of rays lugs in gun metal, ive been really careful with them. they are covered in scratches and the thread is starting to shear, ive only had them off 4 times.
|
Can you not have the current ones powder coated?
|
i have red internal drive.got these from a company called super forma,£20 per set,same as the ones on jdm garages' site and a tenner cheaper :)
they are pretty difficult to scratch and look really good with my white wheels. |
I had a set of ultralight internal drive nuts in black. I paid £80 for them only for two of them to split meaning I had to have them drilled out. The result? Two damaged alloys and a full wheel referb costin £240. A very expensive lesson learned. I've sprayed the original chrome nuts black now.

I have D1 spec and they mark rather easy

Id go for steel ones as the alloy ones flex and loosen under high heat temps, i.e trackdays etc
|
i shave mine. i got a brand new unopened set of wheel nuts i bought from scoobyparts there chrome and locking type. interested?
|
as said, Stay well clear of Alloy ones, Had the same happen to me on my old car. Had 1 on each wheel snap off, I had to drill them off.
I now have ultralight internal drive steel ones in black and find these spot on, Cost me £24 and are fit and forget |

I can`t understand why people are b1tching about the finish on the Muteki ones. I have the burning blue neon ones and have recently had tyres all round (admittedly I did ask the lad not to use the airgun) and the finish is still like new :Whatever_

I'm bitching because the quality of the anodising is sh!t. I fitted them myself using the supplied socket and a ratchet and they look like someone has fitted them with a glass filled socket:mad:
