I know this topic has been done before, but for a deffinatve answer have I got the wrong nuts for my wheels. Don't shout at me, I bought it like this!

look ok to me....to be sure take one nut off and make sure it fits snuggly in the hole. ... - .- -.

As Stan said have a look how well the outer barrel fits, the barrels are different sizes between the Older nuts like you have and the newer ones.

IIRC the BMW wheels to match your nuts (ooer missus) had dimples in the front face, so you may be in possession of newer wheels with older nuts.

I've taken a nut out and had a look at the gap between the nut and the wheel, theres abot 1 mill all round. They are the old black style nuts but I wasnt sure if the wheels are a newer type that require the new silver type with the tapered collar and slightly wider. I couldnt see a tapered seat on the wheel though.

I think you have the wrong nuts.

Those wheels are post 2006MY, you should have the silver domed nuts, not the flat black ones.

And to clarify, I first saw these on a 2007 car in the showroom, here's a picture I took at the time, and they are definitely NOT the old nuts.
