Wink Lock nuts

New car just puchased, well 56 Volvo V50 S D (e4) Estate, but alloys with no locking wheel nuts. Anybody have any spares before I hit Ebay/Dealer.
Thanks

First up redbob51 welcome to the site.

Looking at your other posts it looks like either your dealer or the last owner removed everything they could from the car.

Locking wheel nuts are more bother than they're worth anyway.

There are new italian locking nuts now from your dealer a much better design . The wavy pattern is around the edge of the nut, so much stronger and they have a chrome dummy nut head which spins ... so undetectable unless you bend down and look closely ..
