You want us to look at your nuts

At £50 you are probably better ebay importing them yourself.

Ultralite nuts from revolution are good. My extended tuner nuts from Ultralite are about £70 and weigh 24g. I thought my Rays were light at 32g but these positively float.

Keith at Revolution is always good on price, be worth a PM for a Nuts GB ?

Be interested to see how much the Extended Ultralite Tuners go for.
I might be interested at the £50 mark.

as pete has said
my ultralite lockers are very tight to get on and off
even with copper grease on the studs
i think with the build up of heat during racing on track
they are softer and even harder to get off
my internal drive locker split last week and i had to drive home on slicks
am looking to change mine to something different, maybe rays

budgie

btw, they do look cool though
so if you dont drive on track they should be fine
cheap used set anyone

Exactly. Thats why group buy was originally intended for only Muteki Steel Lightweight nuts & not aluminium ones like Ultralite

Im going for Muteki ones

I haven't fitted mine yet but I bought a set to fit my rotas which have very thin shafts. I was planning on slapping a load of copper grease on but your feedback is slightly worrying. My extended rays are good but they don't stay coloured for long when repeatedly torque gunned and the locker is wearing with gun use. They fit the rotas but you can't avoid stripping the shaft if your not bang on.

I'm after a set too. Was looking at the Muteki's as they have to be locking...

Don't know if anyone can tell me whether they're worth the cash, or if they will fit my Rota GRA's without being a problem? Really want KICS R40 but not at £170!

While we're here, does anyone know any good wheel refurbishers that can do painted rims? Only need the one doing...

Cheers man, much appreciated. Had a look at their website and some of the work is really good, especially if Verdi use them!

(Then it's just new tyres and car-park dent removal and it'll be looking good again!)

IIRC the Muteki's come with a special socket needed to attach ratchet.
