When you buy tires, where do people get them fitted?
Would garages have a problem with fitting them because they didnt supply them?
Also, recommended locking wheel nuts?
Thanks.

most, if not all tyre places will fit tyres for between 5-10 pounds a corner.

Some places charge a bit more when they don't supply the tyres.
Vauxhall for locking wheel nuts, about £20 a set and they are very good quality.

agree with you about the vauxhall nuts as i got some wolfrace ones free with a set of wheels once and after using the locking key a few times it developed two big splits down either side so ended up using the vaux ones again which have'nt been a problem.

When i had the mc guard ones on my corsa, the centre of the key started to work its way loose, only noticed this when it came to emptying it in the salvage yard.

Vaux wheel nuts. Thatcham Cat 1 iirc.
Stapletons weren't going to have a problem with fitting a back box if I supplied one. As long as it was specific to the car.

The key comes out the nut and makes it a arse of a job to get them off
