Hey guys

Does anyone know if it's possible to get a full set of new ROH Contessa Wheel nuts anywhere?

Cheers
James

Matt Read did 2 sets of S/S ones for me last year, not sure if he still does them.

hi there, sorry i havn`t any left & i doubt that i`ll be doing another run of them any time soon
but , if there is enough call for them in the next few months i may well think about it
just that they`re very time consuming & expensive to make so the last lot i sold at almost cost & after a whole heap of people showed interest in me making them, well it ended up with me sitting here wondering where you all were once i had them made :-)
if there are people wanting stainless contessa nuts then PM me & i`ll make a list of interested partys & contact you all if/when i`m ready to make another few hundred of them ok? But it won`t be for a while ok?
