Default Wheel nuts ?

Can anyone recommend some fancy wheel nuts ?
I've seen some D1-spec nuts on ebay that look nice but never heard of them before

Also found these - 5zigen - Racing Nut - Nengun Performance

And these - Unit 8 Performance Products Wheels and Accessories - scroll down for wheel nuts - the Rays in blue also come with locking wheel nuts

The Lug Shack - Number One Source For High Quality Lug Nuts At The Best Prices!

Which colour will look best with gold rims ?

I found D1 specs very soft - carefull with the thread, use copper grease and don't put them in the dishwasher !! and I would get an alloy nut socket from halfords they look good mind you !!

P.S. got sucha socket if you want to borrow it

Bought mine from Japspeed, their a bit strong for the alloy bonnet but fine when your used to them. I always fancied the Tein ones but they were a bit pricey at the time, think they've come down in price now. So much easier than the stay, especially when its windy.

I've got a set of TPI forged alloy one's on mine, very light and these are round on the outside and use a big hex shape stud to remove them, so no need for locking nuts.

I've had them for over two years now and still look like the day i got them. it's must be the lack of cleaning that keps them in good shape.

I would say one thing though, they didn't fit very well with the inovite wheels I used on the blue one for a track day, the alloy wheel was very soft and they would need doing up all the time. work fine on WORK emotion wheels though
