you dont need to spend a penny simply cut off the collard and use over existing bolts simple as tried and tested, have been using mine for a year now with no problems

DONE THIS ON MINE TODAY put the nut in a vice and run a file round the edge of the nut and the collett will just fall off, took me ten mins to do all 16. piece of pi55 then simply put them on your bolts easy

cheers for that, i tried it on 2 of the nuts and they fit fine , i would still like to find some custom fit ones though if any body knows where i can get any.also do the wheels rub the arches if the car is on standard shocks, just put full rear quarters on the car on both sides and dont want to knack them up.
