Surely you mean nuts for Alloy Wheels

I use the standard ones from the steel wheels on mine.
Try taking one of yours to a breakers yard and matching it up with another, they sometimes have a box of nuts to rummage through.
Halfords have locking wheel nuts.
If you wanted flash looking ones to match your wheels, sorry no idea.

You probably know this but i will point it out just in case you don't.
When i got my wheels replaced in a tyre fitters(Got tyres at the same time) The bloke told me that he had put the alloys on with the original nuts(for steel wheels) but that i couldn't use them perminantly. The nuts for alloys have a different angle where it meets the wheel than the steel ones Apparrently.
Just thought i would pass that on.

depends on the make of wheel I think mazda original alloys are the same as steels

I am no expert though and only went on the advice of the fitter. My Alloys are Mazda though.westonwarrior wrote:depends on the make of wheel I think mazda original alloys are the same as steels
So even more confused now

My tyre fitter said the original nuts were OK 
he seems to know his stuff.
Maybe it depends on the wheels, doesn't sound like an exact science to me...........
Best be cautious and check it out best you can.
Alternatively, leave the steel wheels on because then there is no doubt. Alloys don't do anything except make the Bongo more attractive for thieves anyway
I run OZ wheels on mine, as when purchased, and they were fitted without spigot rings ( which was dangerous) but that's another story.
