Default Best nuts for a comp MOs on a 3 dr?

I think I used to have the Gp.A to Gp.N nuts but haven't had the wheels on for ages. What nuts to use?

8x17 Comp MOs 5 spoke.

No bites? Every tire shop around here just looks at me strange when I show them a MO and say I want M12x1.5 deep shank.

So this style of nut is the only one that safely secures the Comp MO to ford studs? I may have to ring you TCS..

The Gr.A ones have the silver insert right? You take your car off the road for a couple years and you forget everything..

I should have been clearer. My MOs have the silver insert already pressed in. I recall using nuts like this but I may be wrong. No idea where I left that box.
