No worries about late entries, this hasn't started yet as I'm just trying to gauge interest.

Should be enough interest to get started, but the more the merrier!

I shall start to make enquiries and will report back.

Hurry Mark my 4200 ones are getting rustier by the day, i want it sparkly soon as heheh

Yeah I have rusty nuts, very painful, on the eye...

Think Maserati had changed their platers at some stage , my gransport ones are original and still as good as the day they were put on , whereas the 4200 ones a 52 plate car have been re-chromed once and now nearly 3 years later need doing again

Is it too late to put my name down for a set?

Not at all. Still working on this. Most manufacturers seem to make them in 17mm/19mm/21mm - working to see if I can get some 22mm. If not there are the grey versions in 22mm, will have to ascertain interest if these are the only options. Will be back as soon as I can!

Not at all it just means that when my nuts cannot stand up to the test of time I will let them tarnish as mother nature intended. Until that day they are just fine thank you

Small update on this: Seems that the chrome or black versions of these only come in 17/19/21mm sizes.
I have only found 22mm size in tungsten grey so far. It would be useful to get an indication of interest on this type whilst I am awaiting replies from suppliers/manufacturers of chrome and black versions.

Obviously chrome is my first choice Mark , the tungsten depends on how close it is to the graphite colour of the wheels , no scrub that i want chrome goona have the wheels refurbed in high gloss black anyway soon

OK, I've heard back from everyone I've contacted about this. The news is that 22mm is an odd size within the automotive industry! Maserati wheel nut sizes are shared with the Vauxhall Insignia and the Range Rover and that's about it.

I have been unable to find anything in either chrome or black. The only option I can see available is the dark grey (which is for the Insignia!) Range Rovers have stainless nut covers, but the shape is wrong and wouldn't fit the Maserati. They are also expensive at c.£2-£3 each.

I'm happy to negotiate on grey if anyone is interested and will continue to search for chrome versions, but this seems unlikely as I have contacted both suppliers and manufacturers.

If there's not enough interest for a group buy of grey then have a look on ebay for Insignia wheel nut covers in 22mm, there are quite a few on there.

MAF, it's a pity that you can't find them in chrome. Just wanted to say that your search efforts are really appreciated!
