Alloy Wheel Centre Plates
Here's a pic of the wheel in question :-
 
Westie_wheel?
Anybody got ideas where I can source the small screws, for locking in place, the centre plates? Are they specials, or can any suitable engineering
screw be used?
TIA

That looks like the Westfield wheels I have got on my car. Mine have the original bolt thingies which have a round head and three holes at specific
positions which you need a special key for. If you are not bothered about the security aspect (could use locking wheel nuts instead) I think you could
use any suitable size bolt... if you can't find any with a small enough head to use a socket on, you could use socket head bolts with allen
fitting?

Ah, Humbug! Thanks for the reply.
So, they are ex-W**tf**ld wheels! And there is normally a special locking screw. Reckon I'll have to follow the option you described, since I
will be using locking nuts all round.
Cheers.

Think you will find the wheels are Rimstars made by Rimstock/100+ which are now Team Dynamics wheels. Fitted to Westfields as the two companies are
located close to each other. Discontinued wheel but they may still have some bolts around. Rimstock
