I was looking for a set a while back and the ones that revolution sell came back with good reports. the locking nut looks identical but with an extra side to stop spanners / sockets

The ones in that link look similar to a set I bought a few of to try and if you breathe on them the black comes off. might not be though

I would be interested as well. The revolution ones look a bit lightweight ?

I agree. I did have some from Julian at rarerims

Rare Rims | Rota Wheels UK

Now if you look here they are made from steel. How heavyweight they are I am not sure. Best call him and ask. he also does black locking wheel nuts which is a bonus

NO major issue but like all black wheel nuts, heavy use and the elements do take their toll. Mine are looking a bit shabby now but that is after nearly 2 years of wear and tear,multiple times they ahve been removed etc.

Believe they are steel,

Been on the car 6 -8 months and the wheels have been off a few times for various bits, the coating still looks ok to me.

And having a weird shape to the outside, they sort of act like a set of 20 locking nuts, so unless someone really wants the wheels, it should stop the oppotunist with a normal wrench nicking them.
