I can do a set of five for £6 inclusive of P&P. Could be with you on Tuesday if of assistance.

Range Rover Blues:
The alloy nuts are designed to secure a steel, wheel too, on 300 series RRC a steel spare was supplied rather than an alloy.

I'm sure ive seen LR alloy nuts, some with a tapered end, some without.
If you've got the ones with a tapered end you can used them on your steel wheels.

clbarclay:
The older style of alloy wheel nut (as used on 1980's vintage RRC) didn't have a taper for steel wheels. Last time I checked these were no longer available new.

Later alloy wheel nuts have the taper and a chrome plated tin cap over the hex to make them look nice. Personally I dislike these, the tin caps are very prone to damage if some fool does them up with a breaker bar, making it difficult to get sockets on/off.

Range Rover Blues:
Aluminium cap, they go oversize and stick in the 27mm socket which is why you see them with their ends chewed off.
