One on the left is an original Jaguar XJ X350 one.

One on the right is a Toyota one which is significantly more substantial.

 

The Jaguar ones are tin plated and often round off, and even snap, and take a 19mm socket.

The Toyota ones are solid and take a 21mm socket so have a lot more metal in them.

I bought mine on ebay described as "Genuine Toyota Celica/MR2/Avensis/Corolla/Aygo Alloy Wheel Nuts x 20 Flat Seat"

 

I have no idea what thread a Jaguar XJ X350 has though.

Won't TR7 be imperial size? I have Lotus wheel nuts that are 21 1/2 hands or flagons or whatever measurement they come in.

 

As said Toyotas from 90s will fit, especially MR2, Celica as they always have alloys.

emailed Mr T for replacement Jag nuts, but he doesn't know what size they are, 

Can anyone on here help with that?

X-308 - 1999 - alloy wheels?

 

The locking nuts are nearing the end of their UWL & need replacing before they fail.

 

Thanks in anticipation,
