Spire nuts

Answer is they are called both speed and spire nuts. Probably depends where they are being bought. VW parts book calls them speed nuts. Probably UK markets says Spire nuts - maybe the original UK manufacturer called them that - like the 'Mole' grips that were developed and made in the UK by MK Mole & Son.
