Other than an OPC does anyone know where to source a set of black locking wheel nuts/bolts for a 993?

McGard does them as well except that being steel (with a black plastic cover to disquise it) I think it might cause a balance problem. But perhaps being so close to the centre of rotation it doesn't much matter? I think I got a set from DT for circa £20 plus VAT two years ago. Used them once for a belt and braces approach when leaving the car in a multistory for a week in Italy.

Just fitted a set of Mcgard ones to the 944 & yes they are steel but doesn't seem to have affected the balance. They were around £ 20 on E Bay, I think from a motor accessory shop.
The only thing is they stick out further than the standard alloy nuts.
