Yeh, Great news

B.T.W. I just saw almost the exact same wheel nuts on NENGUN for something like $230 per set delivered to Aus. I like $110 much better :uh-huh:

Thanks for being patient about this.

They've actually changed the process a bit to make the nuts a bit harder so they are less prone to scratches.

ed,

Just a thought. You might want make the maximum torque value "bold" on the original post so you are less likely to get people stripping the nuts and complaining. I know many people who believe that wheel nuts are not tight unless you stand on the end of your breaker bar and socket. No Joke !!

And just for info sake, 120Nm = 88.5 lbf-ft ( foot pound ) for non-metric idiots like me.

we all have days like that.

the question is, do you think they will make it or not?

[3jai]

So is the deal dropped??

Are the nuts still in WIP?

If this falls through ed, let us know straight away. Dont keep us hanging.

If all fails we can arrange a group price from greenline. They do Rays nuts for like $150, so with 10 ppl we could get it down I imagine. I also have another possible supplier of rays nuts. same colours.

[ed]

Guys,

Sorry for the slack responses from me.

Have been haggling and busting the suppliers nuts.

They have been sent via EMS so I should get them sometime this week unless he is lying about sending them out

DD details will be PM'd tonight.

Thanks ed for chasing for us.

if you dont see the goods by the end of this week then its prob a good idea to go somewhere else.

If this is how the maker/supplier treats his customers...how do any of us know that the product we will be getting isthe quality they claim.

Im out. I want my wheels staying ON the car.

For the extra 80bucks or so to get Rays wheel nuts. At least I'll know they are tried and proven.

well atleast we didnt need to make a deposit before this but went through, so its easy yo pull out inlight of this major delay

[Scotsman]

ed please comment.

If we're not getting them... I'll organise a Rays wheels nuts group buy. Will be a maximun lead time of two weeks.

I think we "might" be best to see what ed has found out as I just had a look at the Rays wheel Nuts on Greenline and for the longer nuts ( the ones I'm after ) I calculated the cost to be 210.72 ( 17,140 Yen ) PLUS shipping etc.

I know that the Rays ones are different since they are 7 sided nuts and not 6 sided like normal / the ones we will be getting.

But after saying all that, if this group buy doesn't work out, I'm very interested in a group deal on the Rays nuts if the price is right

Guys, They are here.

Just waiting for customs to process and clear them.

Cheers,
