Steady Podie.....! For those thinking of buying the Polished Stainless steel wheel nuts from JFS Precision, here is a pic of mine. I am very happy with them, they make a big difference to the cars appearance and the photo doesnt do them justice to be honest

I have read another thread and they were complaining about late delivery, I ordered mine on the Friday and they arrived on Monday morning, so it must have just been the Xmas rush.

Just looking at those pics reminded me. I have a set of wheels like that! I should get them on the car some time. Are yours polished?
I think they are polished as standard but mine have been refurbished and the shine has been taken off. They have a standard Alloy finish with the black inserts painted in a gloss type paint. They are in very good condition and the nuts were spoiling them, so thats why I got the S/S nuts!! Also because my car may be going onto a new Motoring TV programme to be filmed next week and I want the car to look its best!
oh, well that's alright then...

I dont know Richard the wheels were done when I bought the car!!
The TV programme is called 'Top Dog' and its going to be on the Men & Motors channel. They are going to take two, what they call iconic, cars and pitch them against each other to see which one is top dog! They have chose to use my car and filming is either next week or in two weeks time, they are letting me know which date soon. They are still juggling the cars around and have not decided what my car would be pitched against, Any suggestions???

Just had a set of Oz 8 spoke refurbed at Spit and Polish, diamond cut with a powder coating lacquer - which i think is standard, anyway most S's seem to be like that. Mike, it looks like the faces on yours have been finished in titanium. Before i had mine done by S & P I went to A1 wheels in Wolverhampton for a quote (only 30 minutes drive from me), they said that titanium was the in thing, especially because it doesn't deteriorated so quickly. The down side is that they are not so shiny.
