Just purchased some new tyres and rims for the Barina but not sure where to get a set of locking wheel bolts ? Any particular brand or type to look for in Adelaide ?

I'd imagine any of the tyres shops should sell them. (Tyrepower, beaurepairs etc) or even the likes of repco, sprints, autobarn etc

Thanks folks, but we are talking bolts here ie not nuts as even the tyre place where I had them fitted didn't have them in stock and had to be ordered and the next place I went was the same scenario (sorry perhaps I should have said Barina XC)

Yeah all Opels are studs not nuts. The tyre joints down south. Seaford/moana sell them.

Look for Sthil-bull if you can. They'll be triple the price of your standards, but have a titanium spinning ring over the egde. Harder to hammer a small socket over to force them off as the titanium ring just spins!
