the nuts that came with my rotas are starting to rust (maybe 1-2 weeks old now)
where can i get some nuts from, are they a specific size?
i know the original ones won't work cos they were too short

The ebay ones are prob not made to the same quality, hence the cheapness. eg fibreglass can be made with different resins so will be worse/better depending on how its made. So i guess wheel nuts etc would be the same.

I like the last ones but the tapper isn't deep enough for an after market wheel like rotas. It's closer to the OEM nut which will strip/dig into the wheel holes. The rays are a perfect fit for rotas etc as are the second lot. It is a shame as the problem with rotas is the narrow fixing holes.
