yep M12 x 1.5, 60 degree conical end.

I bought genuine Ford alloy nuts (the ones with the separate captive washer) on ebay - this was after trying various aftermarket nuts that flaked and looked crap in no time.

sorry missed the "locking" bit - I had McGard ones, but lost the key - then I realised how easy it was to get them off without the key, it was quicker than rummaging in the boot to find it! I don't bother with locking nuts anymore - if somebody wants your wheels, locking nuts might put them off but won't stop them, or even delay them, if they have a simple easily-bought removal tool.
