Default Rays Formula Lug Nuts

As per the title, WTF can I get a set of these from UK stock, or very quickly and reliably if the supplier has to be abroad?

Alternatively I would consider other brands of similar quality if available in the UK.

TIA,
Dave.

I have got a set of these. I'm not sure I'd recommend a set if you are someone who'll be removing and re-fitting wheels regularly as the removal tool and inside of the nut wear quite quickly and make you very wary when tightening them up as you'll think the tool will round off. I gave up on mine in the end and have fitted a set of kics neochrome nuts.

Check out the thread about my car for pics of what happens to the rays nuts

Thanks both.

Part box don't have the Rays Formula Lug Nuts in stock but have got some Durlock Duralumin nuts instead:

They also have some Rays 17 hex racing wheel nuts which I quite like the look of but not sure if having them open ended will lead to quick corrosion on UK roads????

@D2 TEX, where did you get the Kics neochrome nuts from?

As an alternative try Dixon he might have finished developing his titanium ones.

I got them from ebay. They were around the £60 mark and are open ended

I put a dab of copper slip on each thread which will protect them from the uk weather

I've got rays duralumin and think they are excellent. They've been on and off hundreds of times and still have tight tight threads and no rounding. I use impact gear on them and everything
