Try E-bay when I can’t find it anywhere else at a cost I would like to
pay thats where I go, but just make sure anytime you buy from E-bay
that the seller has allot of feedbacks, I got screwed one time from
not trusting my instinks and ordered an item from someone that had no
feed backs, I lost a 110.00 other people lost allot more from that
same person

Not all of them - checkout the Peugeot 205 gti (1.6) alloys, i had some
of them and they had no centre hole - had to find a special adapter to
balance them.
Alloys with locking nuts are a) prettier and b) less likely to cause
damage to others - ive dodged at least 2 flying cheapo ill-fitting
plastic caps this year alone, one that nearly took out my windscreen on
the motorway. Those who buy the cheap ones rarely get ones that fit
properly, and those that realise they dont fit properly zip-tie them on
and they look bloody aweful.
