RL7s, 18"x9", Hens teeth?
Discussion
The jeep wheel nuts are what the factory fitted from new on the Cerbera with the 17" wheel.
The 18's do have a reputation for cracking where the spokes meet the hub area.
My 17's have lasted 16 years using the original style nuts, I have changed them a few times due to the threads going through over tightening by tyre centres.

Yes, that is correct.http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/20x-Wheel-nuts-to-suit-J...
I have probably had 4 sets of these, a couple replaced by myself but originally by STR8SIX as they were pretty ropey and they recommended changing them ASAP when I brought it and took it to them for a thorough once over.
You can see on this image that I've pulled from the web that they have the conical taper.

My 18" RL7s and 18" Spiders both have the taper but I did have a set of 17" RL7s which I never actually fitted that had the flat face, they looked like they had an insert pressed into the holes that made them flat.
Try this guy http://www.mistertee.co.uk for flat face nuts, looks like he has what you need on his website, he was very helpful in getting me the longer studs I needed.
