Premium is CNC made and higher quality. Then they put their name on it so again the price goes up. The other set are just nuts they have bought in. Less quality but will still hold you wheels on.

Something to consider: I had the cheaper ones and they rusted pretty quickly and you can’t really re-paint them.

Might have to go with the premium ones. The rust would put me off the others. Just there is some difference in the cost. Thanks for the reply’s

Here Is how bad the twisted tax is....
I bought 2 sets of the standard black wheel nuts for £25 a pop. I plasti dipped my first silver ones when I bought the second set of twisted alloys and realised black was £25 for a set I got 2 more sets. Direct from twisted. to now charge 175 + vat is ridiculous. |

As above, they aren’t cheap no matter which option you look at. Do a search on here for alternatives, I know I asked the question a while back so there is info kicking about.

Lots and lots of people complain about the standard nuts rusting, but I’ve had mine fitted for many years with no rust, or degrading at all. I believe that the problem is that people use wheel cleaning acid on their wheels, and that causes issues with the nuts. Where I don’t wash use acid on mine, or particularly wash it now I think about it.

I bought a set of Wrington Engineering nuts as I had heard good things about them, bought a set of the closed end black ones for my steel wheels and the black colour faded to a milky white finish and nothing would shift it, ended painting them Satin Black, they look way better now but kinda defeats the purpose.

Agreed TFR (Traffic Film Remover) rapes all the goodness from everything it makes contact with… evil stuff. I would recommend polishing your nuts frequently  Ride like you stole it!!
