I think it depends on whether the car they came from was Rover or Toyota powered.

2004 onwards.

First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

Couple of simple things to look at...
Is the bolting face on the lotus wheel flat or bevelled/angled?
Take off one of your wheel nuts and offer it up to the lotus wheel.

You will soon tell. :)

Haha, the tuner was very cool about it

Here is the link, I had to use slimmer nuts to fit in the narrow hole of the lotus alloys:

From the eBay ad then, a 60 deg tapered seat nut with an M12 x 1.5mm thread. Would be great if you can measure the diameter of one so we can add that to this thread too. In fact that's a key bit of information.

And... what Dan said! We need to see these on the car. ;)
