Black nuts please?

There were some blue ones on a car I bought last year. Trouble was, the anodising was flaking which made them look really nasty. I have no idea how long they had been on the car though, or if they were the same make.

Funny enough I was looking at some red ones I have them on the watch list. I did get some with a set of alloy's I bought brand new but I only used the wheels and nuts for about 3500k miles then swapped back to the OZ alloys. then sold them on as I was sick of moving them around the garage :( 

So can't really say if they was good or not other than they looked good :)

Ouch!!!! :o £80 far too much ££'s imho.

 

The ones I were looking at were £25 I guess they are made to a price, but at £25 a pop I'd replace then every year if they get manky.

I have a similar set on my car, not sure what the finish is, unfortunately they are always filthy because the alley which my drive is on isn't paved and has a river running down it at the moment making it muddy and horrible. But in general seem to be ok nuts. Don't stand out on my car as they are similar colour to the wheels though.

Did some more investigating and these are the correct nuts, how ever the beveled part of the nut is much shorter than the originals and the oz wheel nuts, not 100% sure they are fitting the wheel correctly as there is a fair amount of the wheels bevel showing around the nut. You can see the bear metal of the wheel showing.
