wheel nuts wanted

Hi guys i need a full set of wheel nuts for my 360.
Mine don't accept a socket or wrench on properly, and i've been told the steel nut can swell inside the chrome cover.
I've found a couple of people willing to brutalise the old nuts off, but i need a new set before i can get involved.

Volvo want £58 for a full set. A local accesory shop sells nuts at £2 each, but thats still far more than i wanted to pay.

Scrap yard will sell a full set for £2, but the local one has just weighed in all of it's stock. there's about 12 cars there at the moment, and none of them volvos. I did sift through a whole bucket of nuts whilst there, but none were the correcvt thread pitch.

Anyone got an old set please?

Havn't got any spares, but rally design do the right ones and not too expensive. Foggy will be able to give you the right size, I *think* it's M14 with a 60deg taper, but check!

Thanks for the info guys. Do other models share the same pitch? i.e. will all volvo nuts be the same?
Still looking for a set though. Anyone breaking a 300?
