Ordered 2 new ones, and these came. Silver color is different than the 4 I have on the car, new one also have black GT3 letters. Part no. Is the same...
took all 4 CL nuts apart to clean, inspect and re grease as to spec. Happy to see no wear marks at all on cone and washer.
CL finish cleans up nice using WD40 and MF cloths.
(btw it also disolves optimol grease really easy, something to note of cleaning the nuts occasionally between CL service)
So you repainted the nuts silver? How did you do it without losing the writing / markers on the centerlock nuts?
Are those markers needed for anything other than a point of reference? I may anodize mine to another color, and was wondering if losing all markings would be an issue for anything.

I did not paint anything, I cleaned the CL nuts and got new new center caps.
The scale around the nut is to tighten the wheel at road side without a tq wrench at hand, as I understand it.
.... soooo, were your rims also painted the same as your center caps? ... I'm guessing that since you did not know (that your caps were painted), that the colors matched between caps & rims... hence my question.
The CL nuts can be bought in grey, red, and black... I saw a post some years back of a GTS owner who anodised his red, they didn’t look anything like the factory - his attempt looked cheap. I’d personally pony up for the factory set. My two cents.
