    depends on the car afaik

    could you go to halfords, and in the carpark loosen off a nut/bolt completely from the wheel and go up the parts counter and ask them for an equilivent set of lock nuts/bolts?

    Halfords wanted 17 euro for a car stereo connection from me last week. I ordered it on ebay for 6 euro.

    So maybe check ebay for the item after you know what you want. :) Little things like that are probably easy to find there.

    Indeed I went today at Consort and the guy told the same to bring one bolt pulled from the wheel. I will go tomorrow again. But I was believing that we only have to buy nuts untill I saw the bolts in the catelogue, so I am confused, do we need to buy nuts and bolts both togather?

    As I said I went today to Consort, the guy told me €35 for a set of 4, I didn't notice there were nuts or bolts, most probably they were bolts, I also do not have idea what brand they were. Was going through some related discussino threds and came to know that better to buy McGard brand, so I will compare the price of the same at Consort.

    There is more than one kind of Bolt as well some are conical seat and some are rounded where they sit into the wheel.
    You better check that as well. Using the wrong ones can lead to wheel fractures!
