You can have look for D1,but aware these are from soft material.
Ultralite are from same material i think.
Works are pricey(around 105£),but are very good.

Try Mags, M444GY Ruislip tyre service, I got some wheels off him recently and had red steel nuts supplied with them.

Top bloke, fast delivery.

No sorry i havent but was looking at a set of these for mine
but i'll probably go with the scoobyparts steel ones,but a shame for you they dont seem to do them in blue,might be worth giving them a call see if they can get some for you.
Good luck
Nick.

I had black scoobyparts ( I believe they were anyway) alloy wheel bolts on my Bugeye and went to get a wheel of a month or so ago to get a slow puncture fixed by mags. It didn't go so well and ended up with four snapping on me.

It took mags, me and P1 Daveyboy nearly five hours, 15 drill bits and a large scaffold pole to get the wheel off

It also cost me a new wheel. I got the rest off with gentle heating with a blow torch though one still snapped but that shouldn't be too much of a problem.

I will be getting some black steel ones from mags when I can get around to it and will never touch alloy bolts again.

Bit late I know, but always looking for opportunities to post pics of my nuts...



These are McGuard spline nuts direct from USA. Approx £60 for the set. These are the same as the STI nuts but without the branding.

Not sure what they're made of but I haven't heard of one strip yet. Very nice design and still in pristine condition after 1 year.
