Thanks for the explanation folks, sorry for being a bit dim on the subject, I get it now.
However, OCD has now kicked in and I have had to go and check all my other slot cars for colours of lug nuts. The only one I have found with it so far is my Revoslot McLaren and that has got the colours the opposite way round with red on the left side and blue on the right. Is there a set standard in the 1:1 world and is it the same in all categories of racing? Mr Google has been distinctly unhelpful on the subject. I am surprised that the rivet counters out there have never raised the issue before as it would seem to be an ideal subject for their deliberations on model accuracy.
Just to muddy the waters even further, I own a set of full size genuine NASCAR lug nuts from one of Tony Stewart's cars and they are yellow! Does the same system apply with multiple nut wheels or only single centre ones?
