Default Wheel Nuts

Not happy with the performance of OEM, or the aftermarket wheel nuts now fitted on my 05 S.

Rust is the problem. Are there aftermarket nuts available that continue to look good for longer?

Long series if possible. (To match the locking ones).

Make sure you get nuts with the correct taper ....

(i.e. *not* the Mugen or Rays ones)

Are the LWNs REALLY an effective preventative measure?? I've often been told over the years that anyone seriously into nicking alloys will have a special tool that can pretty much 'handle' any locking wheel nut. Urban myth?? That said, I suppose the LWNs will in any event deter the more 'casual' thief armed only with a jack and a spanner......

Thanks for the info guys, however, as you can see I've been warned off the Ray's and Mugen varients which efectivly only leaves the Spoon ones. I looked up these little beauties on their web site. -
