Guys I wanted to know if any of you can recomend someone who sells these?
Spoke to C3 a couple of weeks ago and they reckon Ebay is the best bet.
The wheel are RS 5X120 16". The studs/bolts are well aged. Would Stainless steel be a better bet(take it wont have the show finish but will last the weather, But then again probally no point as you will have the dish to think about as well)?
Cheers Sean.

i've got some links i will dig out later as i'm just about to pop out.
i will however say that in my opinion stainless bolts are well worth the extra money. sure you still need to keep the alloy dishes polished, and they don't have quite the same bling sparkle as chrome bolts, but they'll last forever unlike most chrome ones which start flaking around the points within months, plus you can reuse the bolts again and again, meaning every so often you can deflate the tyres and remove a load of bolts, polish the rim around / behind them then tighten back up without damaging the seal between the wheel sections of having to get the tyres removed and refitted after.

Got some stainless bolts from Justmatz, I'd like some advice but then again A C metal polishers will do a dish for £30.00.
