they loose it they replace it imo. if they cant find the type of bolts needed then id be questioning taking a car to them...

especially seens all they have to do is ring paiges or who ever they use for parts, quote the reg and say they need wheel nuts... the parts distributor will give them the correct parts

as for what size they are:-

Outer Thread (mm)
m14 X 1,5

Spanner Size
17
 
Thread Length (mm)
24 (or 28 cant remember which)


go on eurocar parts or simelar they will give you all the info you need if you put your reg in

You will need a different taper if your alloys are aftermarket.
