the proper ones should have nylon inside them its just hidden by the dome bit
there a metric fine thread and the size is M12 X 1.5MM pitch most M12 fastners have a 1.75MM pitch
there is also a metric fine fine thread at 1.25 MM pitch

Unless you're refering to the nuts on the rims which are M8 with 1.25 pitch. That's standard M8.

Screwfix do them at a price so reasonable that they're a single use item.

Nylocks are designed to be single use. One you take them off, the plastic lock will loose it's grippyness
