Does the car not come with locking nuts if you get the alloys?

I got the locking wheel nuts on mine, standard on the alloys as I didn't pay any extra.

I was told by my dealer they were extra, but that could be because i have a really crap dealer.

They came as standard on my MC with regular 15" alloys

came as standard on mine too. Couldnt remember when I ordered the car and rang dealers in a panick 2 days before collection.

£18 must be the replacement price.

What type of lock are you referring to. My 17in came with locking nuts, with a little gizmo you put in your spanner to remove them. The dealer was kind enough to fit locking nuts which require a key to unlock, didn't charge me ! If you give the dealer a puppy dog eye look maybe you can get away without being charged.
