The other day a neighbors car was found on bricks with its wheels nicked! Thing is, it was only a set of steel rims on a crappy old Astra! - funnily enough now the owner now has a new set of steel rims and EVERY single bolt is of a locking type, a big case of 'once-bitten, twice shy'! :)

So as a result I think I am not going to take any chances with my nice set of CD-30's fitted to my new 1300 as I keep it parked outside my house, and thus am on the hunt for a decent set of locking bolts.

If anyone can recomend an off the shelf kit for the X1/9, i.e a proper Fiat kit for a Punto etc that would also fit the X1/9, fantastic! or failing that, what are the specifications of a standard X1/9 wheel bolt so I can shop around for a suitable set...
