They're not 'beautifully' made, being more functional than that, but they are just what's needed when trying to hold a heavy wheel insitu while fumbling with the first bolt. I only want back what they owe me which will be £6.00 each posted.

Wheel changing locator 'studs'
This cropped up on a thread i was reading here so i had a chat with a friendly local engineer. I had one of these made for myself and speculated some members may want one also.

I got some Ally ones from a place in the US mentioned on this 'ere Forum (brain fade so can't remember who/when 
). Yours look pretty good, and being steel should be stronger.
They definitely make changing these heavy alloys a lot easier. Good work

Yes, I got mine from the US as well and as I am a lot younger then X5Sport, I remember it was from LeatherZ. 
The units are great for when changing winter wheels etc, a real must.
