Alloy wheel nuts are designed to sit in an alloy and not tapered enough to pin a steel wheel. Not safe.

correct I wonder what yr insurance company would say in the event of an accident 3 alloy wheel nuts and 2 steel wheel nuts..so jai is saying that alloy and steel are 2 compatable metals to put together on something as trivial and not really important as a wheel:rolleyes:
 
Yep 1 piece ones are no good the ones fitted the D1 chamfer is what is pictured with the metal 2 piece nut or ones that rattle.
 
those fitted are fine. a mixture whilst not looking great is safe many locking wheel nuts are different but secure the same. It looks bad but them are the D1 tapered nuts so no issues. The tyres are more of an issue than the nuts of being legal or not.
 
small chamfer as per my previou post are 1 piece steel construction are not suitable and are not fitted the guy has done nothing wrong just another chance to nag at someone because they wrongly believe they made a mistake they didn't
