size is M12x1.5 matey, just have to make sure which seating you need for them? flat or domed fitting? :thumbup1:

The edges are angled mate so would that be dome fitting? Is there a certain spec for the angle of the edges of the nuts/the seating?

Pretty sure you'll need M12X1.5 60 Degree taper fitting mate, Like these...CLICK ME?

But have a look round mate these were just the 1st ones i found? :thumbup1:

This is the same type i used when i had the Chicanes on mine?

They should all be pretty solid mate, i've had these in the past and worked fine and come in different colours CLICK ME?

Or even these? CLICK ME

Depends on how much you want to spend really mate :thumbup1:

Looks like I may get them slimline ones but the only thing thats really bugging me is that the original 17" nuts seem to have a larger tapered area whilst the nuts that I've currently got on seem to have a smaller taper. I'm just confused lol

The original 17" lexus wheel nuts have a flat face with a washer on them and a small flange that sits inside the wheel itself, with the chicane or grand prix wheels the taper sits in its own recess, some of the nuts available have a 45 degree taper? i used the 60 degree on mine and they were fine :thumbup1:
