Thanks in advance,

Yea sure send me a price no harm, would need postage to Dublin, Ireland though.

I got some Muteki SR35's from Eight Speed. Have a look in their traders page on this site, there's some info on them there.

Aftermarket wheels or oem?

the seat of the nuts are different and should not be mixed up as the wheel isnt properly secured and could come off at any time, many people have used them mismatched and have been lucky but its really not a good idea.

the aftermarket nuts have a Taperd seat while the oem has a radiused seat, if you use a tapered nut on an oem wheel the nut is only contacting the nut by a very small amount this then can cause alot of stress on the nut and could cause it to fail, especially if they are alloy

Sorry for hijacking the thread but what is your personal opinion on conversion washers?

They do the job but are very thick and make the nuts appear to stick out a long way. Plus the fact that they reduce the number of threads in contact, I personally wouldn't use them.

You are better sticking with oem wheel nuts and don't think anyone does red wheel nuts to fit Honda oem wheels. Tegiaw used to do them, try contacting Johnny at tegiwa they might still have a set lying around.

Alternatively, here is another option. Try contacting the OP on there.
