Yep. Easy as!

Whether it's worth fitting locking bolts is open to debate!

Why do you say that?

I ordered winter tyres and alloys from here http://www.wheelbasealloys.com/ for my daughters car last year.
Must say I was impressed with their service.
They seem to get a decent reputation.
I also found after I bought mine they are very flexible on price. They gave me a voucher for £50 if I recommended a friend etc so I'm sure if you see something you like and email them they may well reduce the price for you.

Thanks for the recommendation - if I order with them, I'll give you a shout and make sure you get a recommendation fee.

Oh, and while I remember, another really good site for wheels is felgenoutlet.de

They post to the UK and are very competitive plus have a huge range and a good configurator type thing  :cool:
