Wheel Nuts

Try your local OPC in the first instance they can be very cheap for lots of parts. For example I got a locking wheel nut replacement for £8 recently.

 
Is the problem that the wheel nuts are damaged or are they just rusty?

My 997 had really rusty wheel nuts and they always looked terrible (worse once I had the wheels refurbished) - I bought a set of plastic wheel nut covers which made them look much better.

 
You can buy from ebay and other online parts suppliers (eg 911design, where we get a small PCGB discount). Depending on your wheel colour (eg I'm thinking of getting black wheels) you can get in black, and of course there are options to prevent rusting like titanium (at a price).

Don't forget to get a decent sleeved socket to protect your wheels when removing the bolts, and presuming you have a wheel mounting bolt if you take the opportunity to remove the wheels to do any other cleaning.
