Volvo wheel nut replacements

    I have a volvo c30 and 4 of my wheel nuts have lost their covers

    They look like this (not my photo)

    There is meant to be a thin metal cover pressed over these (part of the nut, you don't remove it when removing wheel)

    Wheel is totally secure but looks crap especially since 4/5 are gone on one wheel (only the locknut is ok).

    Given that I don't think anyone is about to nick my 10 year old stock alloys, I think it might be a good shout to get rid of the locknuts entirely which would leave me needing 8/20 nuts.

    So obviously I now want to replace all 20 so they match and i don't risk damaging one when stuck on the side of the road

    I was in a tyre centre the other day and they didn't stock wheel nuts, the fitter actually advised me to get them on eBay which surprised me a little!

    I have found these:

    www.ebay.co.uk/itm/363335956505

    which state:
    These nuts have a solid one-piece design. They do not have the problematic press-on covers that plague some original Volvo nuts.

    Seems like these are ideal and price is fine (I live in NI so no worries about shipping/tariffs) but I just have a slight apprehension about replacing all my wheel nuts with ones from eBay - having visions of all my wheels falling off as I go around a corner!

    Can anyone reassure me that these will be fine or recommend a more reputable alternative?
    OEM replacements (PN - 31200241) are about £4 each and obviously going to be susceptible to the same issue as the ones I have so a solid nut is preferred!

    I'm sure that there is an equivalent ford part number as the c30 is a cousin of a focus, and i'm sure the ford aftermarket has come up with a well regarded alternative - I just cant seem to find it!
