I've recently bought a 90 truck cab, and am very very happy with it. I have some very smart black ZU alloys, but want to make sure I don't wake up to my Landy on bricks. Does anyone know if standard land rover locking wheel nuts will fit? I've tried to contact the manufacturer but to no avail.

Thanks in advance

If the nuts currently have a flat face where they touch the alloy wheel the genuine or copy ones the same will fit, some have a tapered mating face.

Agree with lynall. Usually flat faced for alloys and bevelled or steel wheels.

Paddocks sell both

Standard locking wheel-nuts for alloy wheels fit, had them on my ZU's since new. They are the ones with a removable SS cover, with the cover in place they match the standard alloy-wheel nuts but have a dimple in the end to show which is the locking one.
Don't forget to get the set of five nuts so you can also lock the spare, I also run a decent cable-lock through the spokes and through the centre of the swingaway carrier. With a cover in place no one would know the spare was also a ZU without uncovering it (some people only carry a steel spare for some reason but that means you need to carry both sets of wheel-nuts and then change wheels again after a puncture has been fixed).

I think I've negotiated the attachment tool and there's some photos on here.
