   Anyone know the best place to get these online?
   
   Also would anyone know whether the standard 13" steelie nuts are the same as for raptors?
   
   Lastly any recommendations as to what to do when a wheel nut threads itself and you can't put a replacement on?

   Not sure about online mate, but probably ebay i'd imagine i got a set of brand new cit ones with brand new cit locking bolts for £15 i think it was
   
   Steelies use tapered short bolts whereas all cit/peu use flat washer bolts for alloys
   
   Personally if the thread is stripped in hub i'd change it they're not that expensive iirc, some people helecoil the thread but personally i wouldn't
