Black wheel nuts

Seeking some advice here please.

I have a 2015 XS 90 fitted with 16" twisted wheels which are black. Wheels are being resprayed in black next month so I thought rather than having black plastic caps over the wheel nuts I would purchase some nice new black wheel nuts.

So a quick email to Wrington (the go to wheel nut company) asking which of their black nuts was suitable with Twisted wheels got a reply that they don't do a suitable black wheel nut

So any suggestions gratefully received please.

Sorry Steve I should have said I have theirs on there currently and I have the plastic caps on them because of them going rusty in no time. 2015 HT XS 90

Ah right! That makes sense then, still not good quality from them!

Afraid I don't have any other suggestions

Hello, Not sure if the nuts for your Twisted wheels are the same as those used on Boost alloys but I've just fitted a set of these;

They look to be well made - despite being cheap...👍

I seem to recall from when I had Twisted alloys fitted that only the nuts from Twisted are suitable for their wheels, not 100% though.

If that’s the case, I wonder if a new set could be anodised before fitting to provide better longevity.

Did you ever find a solution to this or did you stick with the plastic caps?

The twisted nuts are 24mm so should be relatively straight forward to find.

Call twisted? Their customer service has always been pretty great.
