Any recommendations on locking wheel nuts? There's plenty on Ebay but I suspect they will be too short - I imagine these will require longer bolts (not taken one out yet to look at, will do tomorrow when it's light).

A bit of research indicates a 5x112 bolt pattern, but not sure of the taper (60 degrees seems to be mentioned a lot) until I examine one when I can see... are any brands recommended over others? I want to replace all the bolts, not just the locking ones, as they all look rusty. I'd want them to be reliable (ie not snap when an over-zealous tyre-fitter uses his gun) and preferably not rust... any experiences?

Maybe these:

I am using the rust resistant bolts from Alloy Wheels Direct... 2 years on and still rust free.
