Dumb question I know, but I've never considered it before!
Do you use the same 'nuts' for wheels as you do with steelies?

cheers JC - why would I want to? Cos it's just for my old man, he probably won't care anyway - as long as it doesn't look too hideous with the steel nuts on, and doesn't vibrate or do anything that proper locknuts don't do......then he wouldn't even know the difference!!

Just go to supercheap and get the same nuts as your futura 18-spokers.
