I'd probably go for these:

M12 x 1.5, 19mm Hex Alloy Wheel Nuts Ford Cars. Set of 16.

( 181594110840 )

although in the end I went for open ended nuts (so no chance of bottoming out. I have longer studs and 10mm spacers

The problem with the commonly available wheel nuts is that they are only zinc plated, so are soon going to look tatty.
Anyone do them in stainless?

This is from Sprint mag, last Christmas.

"Shinynuts" appears to be a very small business, not sure if it still is a business?



and they will also fit the S Series...........

£40 is cheap for stainless,I asssume because they can do a large batch of M12 since they also fit Ford.
Go for it!

I don't think 'shiny nuts' are trading anymore i can't find any sign of them on Google. Will give ACT a call Monday and order them from there
