Default Rota grid drift wheel nuts. Which??

Just fitted my rota grid drifts and the guy I bought them from gave me these gold wheel nuts and they have done the job but imho the look a bit chavvy and the quality is poor and they stick out so far??

Which wheel nuts do you guys recommend and locking nuts too I need these ASAP!!

I use the standard ones and standard locking wheel nuts on mine, look fine and do the job. You need to select your socket with care though as some are a tight fit and could spoil the finish on the wheel.

That's exactly the problem I had! The socket didn't fit to allow tightening of the standard nuts. Is there a particular socket then that has less width to allow this?

I have the same problem, I had to buy a new socket wrench hoping that it was a bit thinner than the one I had, but it has still taken all of the paint off the holes in the wheels where the bolts go

D1 spec nuts are great for wheels with tight bolt holes, i have some and they are great, come with an adapter key to use.

Somebody else mentioned these but the rare rims ones are cheaper!

They are lush but I nearly spat my tea over the laptop once I see the price

After a bit more digging around there are 2 types:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Black-Tune.../230783137359?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2313445531...%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

Both from a reputable seller who is a rota supplier so just need to decide which ones and which locking nuts too.
