When I went to collect my car, I noticed that there weren't any locking wheel nuts fitted. I asked the salesman doing my hand-over where they were & he didn't seem to know whether they were standard or not (I was pretty sure they were). I pointed out to him that every other alloy wheeled car in the showroom whether on display or waiting to be collected by new owners, had them fitted. He consulted with the service people & said I could either get them ordered which would take a week or he would take them off another car. Tempting though the latter was, I decided on moral grounds to order them. he reckoned that they are delivered to the dealer with ordinary nuts and the dealer fits the locking ones. Ther next week I got them to put the locking ones on for me & they gave me the ordinary ones they had removed, so now I've got 4 spares which is handy.
