    Hi All,

    Was in tyre fitting place in wexford last week and Im going to get 4 new tyres for car, the guy there said that a good few of the wheel nuts are rounded and I should get new ones, so I went to ford dealer and they are charging 8 euros per wheel nut, is this correct or can I get them cheaper somewhere else?

    Thanks.

    That's what I was quoted by Rickards in Tallaght recently for after market VW nuts.

    16 for €64.

    BTW What do you mean rounded? As in the heads were warped from wrench slipping off or something?

    :confused: ballooba - That would be €4 per nut not €8. ;)

    tw0nk - try a fairly new crashed car in a breakers yard.

    Yes, yes it would. God it's been a long day.

    €8 is a rip-off.

    Try Rickards 01-4590862. or a scarppy as suggested.
