Lug nut recommendations

Peeps

 

My Varrstoen lug nuts have seen much better days, so I’d like to replace them. Really, I’d like a set of Rays Duralumin red anodised nuts, but at £186 for a set they’re just too dam expensive.

 

Ideally I’d like to stick with red, short, closed end lug nuts but not finding any that aren’t cheep Chinese tat.

 

Recommendations please!

    Isn't it better to have steel nuts? I've seen aluminium ones with the threads pulled out

    The Rays Duralumin nuts arent Aluminium, it’s duralumin. Theyre stronger that steel ones in terms of clamping and thread strength.... and to be honest I wouldn’t expect anything less from Rays. But you still have to be careful with the (no impact guns) otherwise you’ll knacker ther finish

    Do you have a source for them? According to CZP they're discontinued.
