What wheels are they for?
Tuner style is a bit irrelevant? That just means the long ones that stick out, which is normally just a style thing, not functional necessity.

The bits that matter are the thread diameter and pitch and the seat type (domed, flat (buses/lorries only really :lol: ) or chamfer etc.(which can be different angles).
Unless someone says I'm talking bollocks there of course...

Thread size/pitch is M12x1.5
Seat type is dependent on the wheels (hence first question ;-) )

Tuner wheels nuts are thinner in shape not necessarily longer. The more slender design helps with fitting bolts over to tighten without damaging the paint.
I use mcgard spline drive tuner.

What brand of dyno I meant. DynoDynamics, Dastek, Maha etc... It should state what it was on your print out.
