The present invention relates to a wheel nut (10) having a nut body (11) with a widened radial collar (12) and a thrust washer (13) which is held rotatably and captively on the nut body (11) by a locking means (16), and having a cap (14) arranged on the nut body (11). In this case, the locking means (16) is designed as an edge (17) which runs around on the thrust washer (13) and which engages both over the collar (12) and over a flange (18) formed at the free end of the cap (14). The present invention relates, moreover, to a further fastening element of this type, for example a wheel screw.
