Wheel locking nuts
Hi
I am looking for some wheel locking nuts but seem to have a problem finding the correct ones as they all seem to short ,I have attached a quick sketch of my size of wheel nuts.
Also I have seen vast amounts of costs for them from the sublime cheapoes to the solid gold diamond encrusted ones,I know the old saying you get what you pay for but some of the asking price is ridiculous
Thank in advance for any directions.
Pete

Thanks to both replies.👍
I have just read a few remarks on the use of locking wheel nuts and I think I have changed my mind,like the man said two ton lift on a grassy edge or uneven ground don't think so.
More chance to have the cat nicked,incidentally any theories on how to safeguard that costly beast??.🤔
