Reasonable price = Ebay
Decent quality = Not Ebay

Revolution do Ultralite ones which are black and very light. I have some for my Gunmetal wheels.

Hi

Yeah we can supply the Ultralite wheel nuts to fit most wheels or we also do some black spline drive nuts which again fit most wheels which are a bit cheaper
Give us a call on 0845 0023000.

Thanks

Note the Ultralite website states their anodised nuts should be copper greased.

If you mean does the anodising come off, then no. Mine have been off and loads and thery're still in perfect shape.
I did however buy a brand new socket and am super careful with them. When it goes in for work doing I put my old nuts on so Mr Buzz Gun doesn't get a look in.

Yep that was what I meant, I bought a couple as a test of a company and if you breathed on them the anodising came off.

Going to the replace the lot but didn't want to drop £80 only to be back where I was

Try using insulating tape on the inside of the socket to avoid scuffing the edges.
