Well i wouldnt buy anything fancy local, youll only get a sore ass and no vasoline with your reciept :D
Titanautoworks do the rays extended and normal versions cheap enough, that or you can buy the d1 nuts on ebay.
Or you can get blox nuts from 32tuning.com
No shortage of options :)

dont touch those shitty d1 spec wheels nuts!!! they are pure danger! even with a long reach socket they bend and twist. there also not really "d1 spec" as lightened wheel nuts are banned in competion in japan and america etc. plus the paint comes off them when you tighten them anyway!
best bet is to get some allen key style wheel nuts and spray them whatever color you want, that way when you tighten them and loosen them the outside of them is not being touched by a socket, so the paint stays on!
or get genuine works/rays etc wheel nuts, but they cost over 100 euro!
rite thanks for the info guys, ;) may order a good set of rays ones then...
get steel nuts if its for a track car man. the fancy alu ones look great but are dangerous if your driving hard
where would you get the long allen key internal driven ones (steel) from ?? have nismo ones but there a bit short ??

the likes of halfrauds and icetronix would stock them :o
I wouldn touch the allen key nuts.. I had them and they kept splitting... I got the gold extended blox nuts few weeks ago... They top job stick out from the nut holes in the wheel a bit and weigh exactly half the weight of the allen type I was using... And stickin a small sandwich bag over the nut ensured no paint got damaged on them.. They were 90euro

have to use them , as there the only ones to work on my impul wheels .... no room to fit the usual nut :(
the aul nuts are shite, got a set of blue ones , and three rounded first time removing .

@Ste,Your nuts arent comp spec nuts,They require tightening more often and are subject to loosening!Im not saying the Allen nuts are any better either!
Ah Ye I know that mick... I only bought them for looks if I was going out on track id be using normal nuts.. But for looks the blox are top class come in nice colours too.
