Focus wheel nuts

tw0nk

Hi All,

Was in tyre fitting place in wexford last week and Im going to get 4 new tyres for car, the guy there said that a good few of the wheel nuts are rounded and I should get new ones, so I went to ford dealer and they are charging 8 euros per wheel nut, is this correct or can I get them cheaper somewhere else?

Thanks.

That's what I was quoted by Rickards in Tallaght recently for after market VW nuts.

16 for €64.

BTW What do you mean rounded? As in the heads were warped from wrench slipping off or something?

ballooba - That would be €4 per nut not €8.

tw0nk - try a fairly new crashed car in a breakers yard.

I paid €8 for a nut in Finglas Ford not so long ago

Yes, yes it would. God it's been a long day.

€8 is a rip-off.

Try Rickards 01-4590862. or a scarppy as suggested.

Thanks for replies guys. Ballooba, where is rickards and what sort of place is it? scrapyard or dealer? im surprised to hear everyone with similar prices for wheel nuts, i in my stupidness thought they would be about a euro each!
