Remember to check the fitting of your wheels they are being fitted too.

If being fitted to a set of Honda wheels these will require a domed wheel nut.

Most aftermarket wheels have a tapered fitment for the nut.

Check which ones your wheels are and buy the appropriate fitment.

Basically search for M12x1.5 wheel nuts and it'll open up the options for you.

Yeah good luck with your choice.

To throw another into the mix, I have a set of the Tegiwa ally nuts coming tomorrow - same style as LLL's D1s. A little pricier than the D1's on ebay but Tegiwa make some good stuff in-house. Here's the link:

Obviously can't vouch for them till I get them though! :lol:

These are the wheels:

I do like the D1 style but the ones you proposed LLL don't have any locking nuts which kinda put me off, as i would have to go & buy a set of 4 locking nuts as well!

The Tegiwa's are the same style & come with locking nuts so these look like being the winners :D

Thanks everyone 8-)

I'll share these with you then to make up for it ;-) ...

What I have on my daily, but mine are pink. Not sure if they're too expensive for what you want, although they are a bargain ;-)
