    I'd imagine if you didn't do that you'd be asking for trouble.
    I thought all wheel nuts had some sort of taper. I haven't played with a alloy wheel in so long I can't remember

    Hi Mark,
    There is no taper stud holes on alloy land rover rims...Flat contact surface.

    Comparing the two sets, to my untrained eyes, it seem the alloy is more precision machined and the steel rims is a bit "whatever as long as they are there"...

    Cheers

    I have Dynamic 16x7 +20's on my 130 with 235 85's. The 0 offset for increased turning circle probably seems the go though. Regarding the 60 degree tapered wheel nuts that you need for the aftermarket steel rims, where are people getting them from? The only ones I could get are those long chrome ones which i'm not a massive fan of. I'd much prefer a factory steel type nut with the correct taper if anyone has any leads?

    I've been holding off posting till I took a photo, but I ended up getting 20 wheel nuts from 'Dynamic' for $70
    They are 16x1.5mm 22mm Hex 45mm long black x 20
    Looks to be the only 16mm nuts that Dynamic sell.
    They are black, and don't look bad, but they are long. My first impression was 'why so long. I didn't want long.'
    I'll try to get a photo tomorrow, but I suspect there's a better option out there.

    P.S. I asked the tyre mob what they torqued the wheel nuts up to
    and they checked their computer program before they checked the tension wrench.
    Computer told them 130, where as tension wrench was set at 110.

    I don't know how much difference that'd make but I suspect there aren't many 16mm wheel studs going around, and the wrench lives on 110 for the 14/15mm studs and they obviously don't automatically think to adjust.
    Great news tyre mobs are finishing with a tension wrench, but just thought I'd mention that.

    With the taper being tighter there’s not much chance getting a nut that looked anything like the OEM nut.

    You could have the taper adjusted in your rim to suit the OEM nut. Pretty sure I’ve seen a post about it.

    Have you got a part number on your invoice? Nothing on the website as you describe.

    a couple of overzealous tightenings and the angles would match anyway, one way or another.

    never had an issues myself i have to say.

    You don't need aftermarket wheel nuts for Dynamic wheels. I have been running the standard landrover defender wheel nuts for 9 years with Dynamic wheels without a problem. The wheel nut taper matches these wheels.

    Any other wheel brands (Kings etc) may be different and I can not make any comment on these.

    PS..It is always best to torque wheels nuts by hand. I use the heavy duty wheel brace with a piece of pipe as an extension.

    Yes the Dynamic part number is DN161522BL-20 (20 is probably quantity)

    Caps, nuts and hub rings
    Hope the link works. I couldn't find it from the Dynamic website either . Had to Google 'dynamic wheel nuts' to find it, and I'm not sure it's accurate, only that is only shows 1 16mm option

    I'm not sure about the other Learned comments
    When I rang Dynamic about wheels, they were ones who told me I'd need new wheel nuts.
    and the tyre fitters called me over to show me that the standard nuts wouldn't fit (the King wheels) and I was surprised they looked like it wasn't even close to fitting.
    It was a dark workshop, and I was a couple of metres away. I wish I'd gone in for a close inspection now.
    I'll rip a wheel nut off and have another look when I get a chance. I crunched my shoulder a few days ago so might take me a couple more days before the curiosity wins out.

    Cheers

    Awesome, thanks for that. They don't look too bad either!

    The difference in the taper is obvious upclose, people who aren't using the correct wheel nuts will notice the taper in the hole in the rim will get damaged.
