Guys, I'm after a set of blue wheel nuts to fit standard newage alloys! Does anybody know where I could get some?

stay away from d1spec... not worth crashing your car, hurting yourself or someone else over the sake of a few quid!

Yes the brand D1Spec are absolutely pants. I had them work themselves loose on my car and in a separate incident on my friends car the wheel came clean off within 100yards of his house after fitting them to his car.

Upon removal the threads seem to detach from the lug itself (if that even makes sense)

Driftworks do some good quality lugs, if you plan on keeping the car then pay the extra moola and buy rays ones... a set came on my GTR from japan and the wheels came on and off that car every weekend and they are still looking fresh to this day (and take 400bhp of raw abuse)

First set I had D1spec, had them on for 2years, then tried Rays, they faded so fast I went back to D1spec now in long version.

They have been fine, you just have to torque them up, like you would a normal wheel nut. After fitting and a short drive, you should always double check the torque on the nuts, as things do settle in, mostly common practice.
