You should be able to get them down the breakers pretty cheap....they're just standard Ford 60 degree taper open top nuts.

Loads on Ebay....one here EBAY (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FULL-SET-OF-FORD-ALLOY-WHEEL-NUTS-16_W0QQitemZ370230303266QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Cars_Parts_Vehicles_Wheels_tyres_Trim_Nuts_ET?hash=item5633721a22&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A12%7C66%3A2%7C39%3A1%7C72%3A2134%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50) :)

Kenboy.
Presume you are fitting steel rims ? as JC says breakers now remove the wheels when they 'de-pollute' the vehicles,and keep some of the nuts,alloy wheel nuts are a little more difficult because customers usually want them when they buy the wheels.

HI Gozz you have me a little puzzled here are you saying that the wheel nuts for fitting steels are different from the ones for fitting alloys I myself will be fitting 16" 12 spoke alloys, please excuse my ignorance I may have missed something here.

Cheers Kenboy

For 12 spokes, the ones I mentioned are the ones you need :)

Kenboy.
Thought you were fitting steels,alloy nuts will fit steels,but steel nuts will not fit alloys owing to there being no outer collar.
