Even if you have a "Native Speaker" give you the goods, you may want to Xcheck this "offical" list of terms, as your native speaker might not realize that a term s/he has used since grades school is slang and not what the auto industry deems "offical".

I've not heard the term wheels nuts, BTW, we call them wheel lugs (the bolt) and lug nuts (the nut on the bolt) here in MN. Sometimes wheel lug nut is used.
