halfords want £38 per set of 4 nuts and i have 4 wheels so it would cost me a fortune, i cant use the old nuts from the steel wheels as they ruin the alluminium alloys.

only answers from people in uk please

Answer 1

Depends what quality you are after -

Smithfield Sunday market (between Gorton & Openshaw) has plenty of reasonable quality traders who will have a good choice.

If your looking for quality at a fair price, try ABS in Dukinfield, BMS in Dukinfield or Oldham or K&C Autofactors in Hyde.

Good luck

Answer 2

I don't think you will get a cheap set from a shop I have researched for my car as you don't say what make and model you are looking for these are vehicle specific so unless you are lucky to get them from a scrapyard I think you are looking at a lot of cash
the web sites below gives you some Idea of prices

I know it's not what you want to hear but you could buy a 3 sets of normal and one set of locking this may get you started at least you hopefully shouldn't get your precious wheels nicked
sorry Its not more helpful

Answer 3

Try this team.www.acemotorfactors.co.uk.They are based in Leeds but i think they do a postal service.I bought a set for my Astra Sports and price came in under £20.Also the set i bought were made in Leeds,so if you lose locking key you can easy get a replacement.Hope this helps.

Answer 4

Try looking for local (ideally independent) car mechanics around Manchester (maybe look in phone book) and see if anything comes up. If you find any, phone/go to them and ask if they have these available. If they don't, you might as well ask them if they know of anywhere that does have them.

Also, although this is a long shot, try posting a free classified ad at either http://manchester.gumtree.com or http://www.vivastreet.co.uk which might work.
