Anywhere cheaper than paddocks?

Then again, I guess I need good ones as the alloys are nice, so what type do you recommend, and where to buy from.
Thanks

Hiya toadfish, if you don't mind 2nd hand then try ebay. The links below will take you straight to a set.

second hand looks good.

Now, you know the pattern or grooves and ridges in them? Are they all different or are all discovery owners running around with the same type of locking nuts?

ffs. yeah they only made one pattern so as long as you have a set of locking nuts you can go around nicking disco wheels whenever the fancy takes you

Hi toadfish, I have a set of locking nuts the same as the ones in the first link and the grooves are different!

As for securing your wheels, if some little ba?*ard wants them that badly they'll get em! Had cars stolen in the past just for the wheels.

How do you secure your wheels then slob? Any tips?

seems stupid to have same grooves, therefore interesting to find at least someone has different groove patterns.
Am now considering buying 2 different types just to put the bas***s off.
Yeah, it is only to put off the casual bas***d, not the determined one.
When I meant cheap, i should have said cheapest place to buy - i.e. paddocks seems quite cheap whereas local dealer selling same thing is £5 dearer - and now ebay seems cheapest place.
Cheers all

don't get much, if any crime around here, i can even park up outside the pubs and leave the keys in. i've even seen people leave the engine running ( in winter) while in the bar getting smokes or whatever. so my tip for keeping yer whelks is either move to a crime free area or just stick plain old steel whelks on
