Re: Nut help please
They look like external drive nut being you have to put the socket around the outside of the nut and turn. The clearance on some allows mean that this is not possible.
Safest bet is internal or spline drive nuts.
Also don't forget you need M12 X 1.5

Re: Nut help please
Have a look at thi sthread from a couple of months back: http://www.mr2oc.co.uk/forums/topic.html?f=59&t=124658
Bascially Ant and I wanted wheel nuts at the same time - he ended up going for chrome open ended spline drive mutekis and I imported some closed end, blue 7 sided nuts from Hong Kong

£32.70 delivered for a set of 20, non-hex lightweight nuts - that's rather good ya know
(You have to email the seller to get the quote on 20 rather than 16, hence it's mroe than the auction implies)
You'd spend £55 on a set of sprint nuts (including lockers)... and their blue is more turquoise than the ones I ebay'd: http://www.sprintwheels.co.uk/eshop/sto ... ategory=75
