cheers for the link mate, although the one I'm after is a generic blanking grommet. Not a Toyota item.

don't use the 100ft aerial so want a blanking grommet to fit in its place.

Cheers Rob! Second question, what bolts you use for your SA3R Advans? I tried using the bolts off my wolfrace wheels but I can't get a socket attachment down the side to screw them on. Cheers :thumleft:

The aerial hole is eliptical, a grommet is never going to look great and is removable by scumbags with fireworks beware...

the hex key is not unique so if you want to use locking nuts you could get 16 plus locking nuts but i didnt i just went with the 20 as how many people will have a hex key :) and if there serious enough on knicking them locking nuts dont stop anyone :(

Another fair point as a local garage was able to remove my wheels even though I left the locking key at home! :shock:
