Trails,

Will they do us a better price on the RAYS/Works at all if we can up the numbers?

I've spoken to the guys at Ultralight and if we have 10 people they would offer a 10% discount but the nuts would have to be shipped to one address and distributed...

Ultralight titaniums looks sweet as

they seem to do a nice reange though with something to suit everyone.

Looks good to me dude if we cant get the Work/RAYS nuts

What would be a total price for a set of Ultralight nuts, how does it compare to the JDM items?

if we can get 10 people we can get 10% off...but we will need to agree on the delivery as we may have to get them all sent to one address.

I just don't know if i need long or short lugs or does it not matter?

sorry Sherlock I only just noticed this extended nuts are for use with...extended studs normally a track day modification to stop your wheels coming off

bit of a fashion item though if you don't have long studs though...I'll be going for the extended version but I will also be running extended studs

What colours are available in the RAYS variety?

I have some gold te37's and would like the nuts to not look out of place if you see what i mean. any suggestions?

I also dont know if i want the security nuts, if the RAYS come as a complete set including at least one locking nut per wheel then thats what i want!

Personally i think the RAYS are the best bet... mainlty because there is nobody that dislikes em.

Although i think the stumpy Ultralite nuts with the knurling look nice too.

Lol, only just realised that the security nuts are 7 sided. Wondered how the slot alone was supposed to be a deterrent..!

When do you think you'll need payment, via what method and to who..?
