Axle / Nut Thread Size

[Desert explorer]

The nuts on my wheels are rusting and I want to replace them but can't figure out what size they are. The nut is a 10mm or 3/8" I would guess 10mm since the bikes from China. I have tried a 10mm X 1.0 ,1.25 and 1.50 none of them work.
A 3/8 -24 NF is close as well but will not thread onto the axle. The original nuts threads on fine onto the axle leading be to believe its an odd size?
Is there a standard size for the axle nuts?
Thanks
Ken

Ok,
I rechecked the thread size and it was a 10MM X 1.00 problem is I can't find a flange nut in that size but a regular 316 SS nut and a 316 SS split lock washer from China is better than a rusty flange steel nut from China.
Keep the wind at your back.

Amazon has about the widest selection I've seen. Nearly every color/material spec there is.

Must be a mid drive to have 10mm axles on regular wheels?

Almost all of my regular bike wheels are skewer types, I I got one coming in that uses nuts.

Yes,
Mid drive with a front fork that uses nuts instead of skewers.

my eg bike was that way but there is no need for it. my new bike has standard skews and the same fork but it is a higher end bike. here it is with a pitlock nut
