I am thinking of putting steel wheels on the Mini for a while but am unsure of what type of wheel nuts I require, I have a photo of the 2 types I have that will allow me to fit wheel trims.

 

Grateful for advice on what ones are correct.

It does depend on which steels you have. Get some blutak or similar and push it into one of seats of each wheel. Not all steels were the same.

 

once you have confirmed that they are all the same look at the shape. Tapered or radiused? What taper?

 

have a look to see all the differences. Knowing the year of the wheels will help.

Thank you for the advice, I will use the blu tak method to check the taper, the wheels are 4.5J 12 inch Dunlop steel wheels.
