    I know the Rares HQ repro nuts are pretty crappy but how do their HJ-HZ ones compare to originals?

    How do the ones pictured that I got off Ebay look? Genuine or repro's? Probably hard to tell from a pic I suppose.

    HJ onwards, they suited both the rally II and polycast rims.

    new black headed nuts should be out shortly, a new set of samples are being made up now from a much better drawing

    iv personally checked the drawing against an original and its spot on, now to make sure the actual stock is correct in a few weeks

    Hello BIGCAV we have bought a lot of rares products, and most have been quite good, but reading about wheel nuts, we bought 2 sets, (we have two vans) and a GMH wheel spanner whch is still being produced, and rares sell these with gmh sticker on it, sadly the wheel spanner does not fit the nuts so that is not really a good thing if I get a flat tyres somewhere and don't have sockets with me.....

    thanks Jennie
