Need to buy some wheel nuts for my new superlights. Obviously need tapered ones but don’t know which exactly. Wondering which ones are best out of these two:

https://www.minispar...full-set-of-16/

Is it just long ones will stick out more or is there any other difference. Also is it worth getting locking nuts anymore.
Thanks for any response.

Really up to your choice what you fit and what you like best.  As long as they are 3/8 thread and have a taper, the world is your lobster

 

I prefer stainless steel as opposed to chrome, not as shiny sometimes, but will not develop rust spots or pitting

Hadn’t noticed that one was chrome. Will get some stainless ones ordered.
Thanks for your help

Stainless would be illegal on the road here.

Thanks for the replys. Ordered ones from Huddersfield as they also sell centre caps. Will be putting wheels on after Christmas. Have a good one. Cheers ??
