Re: What size spiggot rings?
I've already tried sending him a message, no reply yet. Would be quite handy though if he can help, as he's only 10 miles or so from me. I've had a quick look online, but they all only seem to offer spigot rings for holes up to 74mm at most? Are my alloys that rare that they don't even make rings for them?

Re: What size spiggot rings?
Right, I've measured again with my tape measure, and it's actually 74mm instead.
So now I just need 74.1mm to 60.1mm rings. All I can find though is 74.1 to 72.6, and then using 72.6 to 60.1 too. Can't be that good using two different sets can it? I've seen that common sized spigot rings can be bought for under a fiver, but if I have to go for custom made ones instead, I've just found this place here, £20 delivered:

I also found something else out while I has the wheels off. My wheelnuts are tapered, my locking wheel nuts are conical, yet the holes in my alloys are for flat nuts! So perhaps I should do a bit of shopping!
I know it's off topic, but does anyone know anywhere I can get some cheap wheelnuts from?

Depends what you are after but this place seems cheap:
http://rallynuts.com/motorsport/Wheel_Nuts_1838/
Would be worth calling them and asking if they have stock, as I am still awaiting a delivery of some stuff that they had not got in (they haven't taken my money yet so its all good - just slow!)

Managed to get some wheel nuts from a mate who had a set lying around doing nothing, and I've just ordered some spigot rings from here for £19.99 delivered:
