Wheel Nuts for Minator Alloys

I purchased the Minator wheels recently advertised here, and wish to purchase the correct wheel nuts. I believe the wheels have a 60 degree taper? These nuts advertised for a classic mini seem to be the ones at a good price:

or these at 4 times the price:

What do you think?

The nuts used with and which came with the Minator wheels fitted to my Minor are indeed 60 degrees. Just checked with a Moore and Wright angle gauge.

The nuts are similar to the ones shown in the first link but the price for four appears to be very cheap.

The problem with wheel nuts is the thread in that they do tend to pull out and you do not want to loose a wheel nut or even a wheel.

Personally I would purchase the wheel nuts from Revolution Wheels (link in related post) and know that you have the right item and the metal is the right grade.
