    Does anyone know where I could get a replacement wheel nut for a mitsubishi?

    I have non standard alloy wheels that require narrow nuts. I've tried every car breakers within 20 miles and every motor factors.

    There's a motor factors in Tallaght that does them. They're based in by the square. Could be called Rickards : 01-4590862.

    Be careful though that they are an exact match of the existing ones. There are all kinds of variables for alloy wheel nuts. Including length, width, thread depth and seat type.

    See here for a rough guide: http://www.performancealloys.com/nuts_bolts.asp

    Try the stores in a mitsubishi garage. I worked for a while in a vw/audi/merc/mazda garage stores and stuff like that was ordered all the time.

    When you say non standard do you mean that they are not original Mitsubishi alloy wheels? If so you might possibly have to go to the alloy wheel manufacturer for them.

    Rickards is the one by the Square (right beside Statoil) Balooba mentioned and they're quite likely to have them if anyone does.
