I have a set of wheel nuts which came off my old mini fitted with 100+ minilite type alloys. These alloys were sourced from a mini breaker who had them on her car and after a good few weeks of pestering she agreed too sell to me. The wheel nuts subsequently got replaced with new shiny chrome from the wheel refurb firm but having sold on the car a good while back am still left with the wheel nuts which am looking too id if anyone familiar? thanks

Very strange that they have a hole in the head of the bolt.

I think they might be the nuts that were used on the Rover Coopers with the chrome cover removed.

What is their A/F size ?.

These chrome covers can get distorted and damaged unless the correct socket is used and sometimes rust gets between the steel nut and the chrome cover, swelling the cover, and the chrome covers are removed.

Agree with Weef. Rover nuts with missing covers. I have a few like that knocking around for exactly the reasons given.
EDIT
Ignore above, the Rover nuts have tapered collars!

Thanks yeah reckon is likely these FAM5701 for the plastic covers fitted to last of the 10 inch steel wheels 1275gt etc. Diagram also shows split washer FAM2563 . Appears these plastic covers also had plastic caps for nut heads GAW116A

21mm A/F sound a bit big, I thought the original size was 11/16" which is aprox 17.5mm, so I may be mistaken with my identification. 

Sorry.

I haven't measured the A/F size but they are exactly the wheel nuts on our 1988 Designer with plastic covers with a central plastic  disc covering all the nuts.
