    Default Need info asap

    Quick question.....

    Im after a new set on wheels for my car and the firm im buying from have said they will do the wheels, tyres bolts needed, but also vari bolt lockers. Now as far as im aware a vari bolt locker is no different from a locking wheel nut, is it not? Only a set of 4 locking wheel nuts i can pick up on ebay for the stilo for just over £10, but the firm are going to charge me £35 for these vari bolt lockers.

    Can anyone explain the difference between the two and whether or not this is a good price?

    Thanks

    They do sound like wobbler locking bolts to me as well and if your car wheels are direct fit [4x98] then you dont need these ..ebay ones will do just fine ..

    Jungle, it can be quite tricky finding 4x98, as it's only really Fiat that use it. I went for a 4x100 with wobblies, and they're fine. YOu get a much wider choice that way. check out www.alloywheels.co.uk, that's where I got mine from, good prices and very helpful staff.

    There are targets to eliminate, such as tanks, or mortar
    crews. These are just a matter of getting the job done. There is no real
    winning strategy for these ones, just don't die.
