Default Wheel nuts to suit MO's?

What wheel nuts do i need to suit Compomotive MO's? I know i need M12x1.5 (mk6 escort) but do i need a 60 degree taper at the end of the nut to fix snugly into the MO?

Found this site for nuts -

http://www.shinynuts.co.uk/products.htm

Anybody used them? Can you advise me what to order?


Thanks!

they fit fine m8.
when you hold the nut in the hole and look through the back of the wheel they look to fit very snug.
plus when you tighten the nut on the wheel and take it off there are no score marks on either the nut or wheel so must sit snug.
