FYI they are called shank nuts. You will need to measure the diamter of the hole in the rims and get them to suit. As there is no taper to locoate the wheel on the studs, they need to be a snug fit into the rim

Try Mag and Turbo warehouse. They're pretty reasonable on price, and if they don't have them, won't take long for them to get them in. Any wheel and tyre place should be able to assist, but that's where I went last and had good service

The shank on the nuts that came with my Mkiii's is 17.2mm if that helps
