Wheel Nuts??

Does anybody supply any aftermarket type wheel nuts that use an internal fitting for fastening please?

i.e. they have an internal spline or hex fitting to tighten/undo them

Can any traders help me with something of decent quality please??

Got the ebay specials and have changed the wheels half a dozen times and the adaptor is starting to slip in the nut so that it sticks in there, no good at all on the trackdays.

Think I need something with a decent internal spline drive, and I could do with them fairly quickly, before I go to Spa

Possibly, but they just look too similar to the ones I have, perhaps it's because I use them with a gun. Or quite likely the ones I have are cheap imitations of Grants
I've sourced some with an internal spline drive (bit like torx) and I'm going to give them a try next

Wow, that is tight!
I have some nuts coming now so will give them a try. The biggest issue I had with the others was the quality of material and fit of the adaptor, perhaps it's because I tend to use them with the wheel gun all the time.

Thanks for the info everyone
