Andy-nbr Posted March 22, 2011 Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Hey all, Anyone here had any experience with coloured anodized wheel nuts? I'm tempted by an orange set just to add a little bit of detail. However, all the sets I've seen are like nearly £50 quid, which seems a tad steep to me but maybe I'm wrong. Are there any cheaper places to get some? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
