Sounds like you could sell them to the chap above, and buy some that are a little nicer. :)

In finnish Citroen-forum, twice a year someone starts a topic about how to remove a busted locking bolt or where to get a new key.
In Finland we have this thing called Reilu Meininki

I thought I should throw in my 2Ps worth, having just researched and purchased 16 x 45mm over length bolts to fit my standard C5 OE alloy wheels to Xantia for... 35 quid!
Like this, but longer:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/M12-x-1-25-35 ... 1e75411441" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

From these guys:
http://www.mrnut.co.uk/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
In Bradford, cash over the counter (they're actually the same folk as the ebay link). Give them a call and talk them down in price - though p&p (and vat...?) may add a little to the counter cash price.

Standard shank length (I understand) is 36mm, from bottom of washer to thread end. The ones that came of the Xantia were a couple of mm longer and didn't have the 60 degree taper, but I used some of the same bolts to fit the Xantia alloys back on the C5 which worked (there were other issues...)

So, long story short - I've got 16 standard OE alloy wheel bolts in good nick (spring washers springing) from a C5 that will do for a Xantia. Any takers? Give me a pm and forgive the sales pitch in the wrong forum.

PS None! are locking bolts - had Gordons Tyres spend a couple of hours removing the *!@&#$s when I first bought the C5 and replaced them (so 4 are only a year old)

Any thief worth his salt will remove your locking bolts in a flash, just like we do in our workshop , at least once a week.
They are no deter ant I can assure you.
