I probably would. Round here people will nick anything that isn't locked down.

Trouble? He bought some from Halfords, they don't fit, so he wants some from Skoda.

Doesn't sound like much trouble to me!

It's about £20. People will nick your wheels just for the tyres. Well they did outside my old flat

I have a steel spare but the same bolts suit that and the alloys - not sure why it should be any different?

I currently have locking wheelnuts on my steels, as I don't have any spare normal nuts.

Yep, always have done Just not worth the hassle if someone did decide to walk off with your wheels, not for the cost of some locking nuts.
