    woud not recomend the vauxhall ones, the heads quite big, so wont fit in certain alloys

    look to pay about 20ish

    Think the Vaux ones are £25. They fit all Vauxhall alloys. The head is big because they have spinning hardened collars on... if you didn't have those it would be easier to get them off.

    mine came on the car and had a really dodgy looking key, its better to get one with a collor that spins on them that way lil scum bags cant undo them with a bigger socket coz sometimes if you hammer a bigger socket on you can undo them.
