I need help with my nuts

[shinny]

They're severn sided - which is at least some step up in security from normal hex nuts. (Likewise the spline drive Mutekis offers some level of security). There are some good looking hex nuts around, like the D1s, but I want at least some security without having to have one nut per wheel different to the others

I'm just fussy really

I'm trying to get hold of a set of these before JAE...

I've found a place I can order the open type, but not the closed type. I emailed them to see if they could do the closed type and haven't heard back yet...

Edit: They're by Muteki BTW, and come in black, chrome, blue and red

If possible go for the internal spline ones as made by Bimecc, these are more reliable than the type shown as the slim wall sockets are prone to splitting.

Standard flat nuts

Cheers shinny, much appreciated! I'll get a set ordered now!

Just out of curiosity what colour would people suggest on anthracite lexus wheels on a white rev 5?

Oh I forgot to ask would I need open or closed nuts?

Most standard nuts are closed... you'd be lucky to find an open set TBH

Try these:

I bought a set when my original nuts corroded onto the wheel, one needed to be removed with an air chisel. Those nuts with an internal hex key have a habit of cracking as well. These are well made and use an external spline so no chance of the aforementioned problem.

Qucik bump!

Well, I just found out the nuts I bought on ebay don't react well to the wheel cleaner I use... half the colour just fell off them!

However they'd already lost bits of colour just by taking the wheels on and off. Back to the drawing board I think
