Their decent nuts tbh
I got them off the same seller
their aluminium so make sure you use a torque spanner to tighten them cause mine are ovetightened
and make sure you wrap like electical tape round them
before tightening cause the paint chipped off mine and it's only got 1 layer of paint on it!

Or buy some Muteki wheel nuts which weigh just as much, maybe less. And they are steel so you don't need to worry about overtightening them as much!

steel = rust which is what mine did.
i got them with the wheels so wasnt to bothered but yea they started to rust as the paint chipped and scratched when removing them. not good.

Wrapping electrical tape around them sounds a brilliant idea lol, im gna do that wen i FINALLY get mine, been sayin it for months now :thumbup: maybe when you take them off try and put electrical tape on the inside of the socet that u use and that might help stop the paint coming off, worth a try i suppose, dunno wich make to get though.

Im assuming its the 17mm ones we need for the eps as its been mentioned?
