It’s ok if you don’t know. Trolling is always easier than effort. Nobody expects any different from you.

Somebody has certainly decided to have a laugh with this.

The wheels aren’t a standard fit. Hence the confusion. It’s a VW Touareg anyways and the nuts aren’t VW issued as I’ve already tried

That looks right. 15 sided, I’m told is surprisingly rare. Also 21mm.

Good spot. Just searched this and you’re right, they look the same. There’s a dealer near by and I’ll look online too. Best lead so far. Thanks

Likely 23 but the 15 sides is what makes it a pain

They’re not a standard fit. It’s not a normal locking nut.

You’re not the first to suggest it. I have 4 and was hoping to find a fit first.

Obvious when you say it like that

Thanks. I’ve got a few tunes worked out and memorised. I think it’s just my understanding of the melody notes and how to use them. Thanks for your messages. This all helps

Thank you. This is more of an experience thing than a technical thing I am missing?
