go to a breakers yard and see if you can find some others like that, if they were supplied with the car as standard ie from vauxhall then vauxhall should be able to source them for you if not then a breakers yard may have something similar

I don't know who made the alloys and no longer have the old nuts they got put in the bin because i didn't think i would have any trouble getting some more.

they were patent parts then, do you still have any of the old nuts you took out? take them to vauxhall and see if they have the same thread width as a set of original vauxhall ones.

i had a very similar problem its a small black key your after innit, i parked just over a drain and as i took the jack out of its case it fell down the drain, i was fcuked, but if you have a pair of nose pliers you can still get the screw out, secure i know!

right so u mean centre caps!!!! think u will find u can buy a new set of those and u will get the screw that holds them on and the key complete with the set

I'll try and find a picture, but the caps are more like plates that cover the 4 bolts.
The pate fits in flush with the wheel and the nut also fits flush, the nut itself has 3 holes in the top,

I recently got a puncture and found that i had lost my locking key for my alloys.

They are 3 spoke alloys like the old SRI alloys.

I got the old ones taken out ( these nuts are only for the centre caps) and then went Vauxhall to get a replacement set.

After a about 2 hours and trying various locking nuts for the centre caps I was given some news by the manager.
The wheels were not produced by vauxhall so they dont have the nuts to fit.
The wheel are near enough exct copies of the ones vauxhall produced for the SRI. I never bought the wheels so don't know where replacment nuts could be found.

PLEASE HELP, WEBSITES, SHOPS etc ?????????????

cheers
