Where to find M14x1.5 17mm wheel nuts?

I recently bought WMW M14x1.5 stud conversion kit. The problem is, it doesn't come with wheel nuts.

I was able to find some wheel nuts, but they're not 17mm.. The ones I found to be 17mm are for VW cars... so not sure if it will work with MINI...

Anyone know where I can find?

thanks!

You are correct, most of the standard cone (not ball) style lug nuts with that thread size and pitch use a 19mm wrench/socket. There are some aftermarket chrome "spline" drive types out there but that may not work for you. Will a 19mm socket (perhaps thin wall) fit into your wheel opening? See the following link:

Thanks for the help. I don't know if my wheel opening will clear those 19mm nuts. For next year, I will buy 17" Konig Feather wheels, so no idea.. I will ask WMW he might now.
