Wheel nuts to suit 17' motegi rims

Hi. As the title says really.
I have just swapped my wheels over and found out that my standard nuts are too tall to be able to fit the centre covers on the motegis.
Does anyone have 16 nuts (that will fit) to sell me, or can anyone recommend where to buy them from.
I had considered ebay but thought it would be worth asking on here before i start emailing sellers to get them to measure the overall length before buying.

Think I am sorted. These look like they should do the job.

Be on safe side by the genuine ones last thing u want is cross threading the studs

I agree with samiya85. My mate bought non genuine wheel nuts and he managed to strip the hex head. They also rust quicker too

Try find a second hand set

Yep,
Donald is right. 5x114 but I have locking nuts that fit under the centre covers.

If they are Motegi alloys then you will need domed wheel nuts NOT tapered ones....

I think they are Motegi, but certainly look like an ordinary tapered lead into the hole.

Pretty sure I have a set, I'll take a pic of a couple and can see if there the right ones
