why bother?

If you really want them then contact tsw, halfords may have/be able to get them but they are generally useless, its the shop of the damned.

They will either be plastic or alloy if you get some plastic ones don't be surprised.

you'll have to buy them from a dealer Rolling Eyes tsw are part of yokahama and they don't sell direct to the public Rolling Eyes .

did you know that halfords are now charging you comission if you use a debit card. Rolling Eyes Exclamation

Didnt really need them but fannying around trying to hold the wheel in the right place while i put the bolts in each time was really pissing me off big time
