Yes, and for pretty much any car on the road for the last 30ish years. You will need one with a taper seat, which again is common. Just about any recent Vauxhall uses the same bolts which makes finding both new or used easy.

There is no such thing, they are all oppsing shit*.


In 12years of recovery work, I recovered one car with stolen alloy wheels. This was a Skoda Fabia; the original, pre-VW Skoda engined FWD hatchback!
 




*This is the industry standard technical term.

Standard alloys aren't really attractive ;)

Sport Stars, perhaps :-X ::)
