Hello.
I have the same issue 
The older style 18" boosts have a different cast so require special longer locking Nuts. I spoke to a helpful Guy @4x4 tyres.co.uk who were planning to Order a last batch from their supplier Early this year 
I recommend you ring them and get your name on their list. If they give You an update on delivery dates please update the thread. Cheers Mark |

Thanks Mark, I will contact him.
Although based upon what I've been told today by someone who deals with them, they aren't going to be ordering any in. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic 2010 90 SMC Over Land Nero Edition - Santorini Black Metallic (Now Departed) Last edited by CatherineF on 13th Jan 2015 11:17pm.

So that's 3 then.
CSK have given me a link to someone who may be able to help and make some. If we know how many are needed maybe we could get some sets made up? 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic 2010 90 SMC Over Land Nero Edition - Santorini Black Metallic (Now Departed) |

Sounds like a plan, mind you it goes against the grain when I've already paid for them !

Hopefully some more people will pop up and we get an idea of how many sets are needed. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

I agree and it's my understanding that my purchase was also to include them.
I'd have thought that one of the forum suppliers seeing this thread could surely assist us with getting some made up, especially if there are enough of us? 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic 2010 90 SMC Over Land Nero Edition - Santorini Black Metallic (Now Departed) |

Fortunately I only have my name on a list and have not pre-paid.
So I am definitely interested in pursuing alternative suppliers. I also went back to my original wheel supplier (and Site sponsor) and they said use the original OEM Locking wheels nuts ! But I remain unconvinced with this advice due to the significant differences in the nut lengths. |

So is the difference just the length of the wheel nut? 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

Catherine
Have you tried Wrington Engineering Ltd? They make wheel nuts for the Land Rover range. |

No I haven't? Do you have any contact details? I'll ask them to see if they can make 3 sets up for us. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic 2010 90 SMC Over Land Nero Edition - Santorini Black Metallic (Now Departed) |

I've had a lovely chat with Mel at Wringtons.
I need to take him a side on shot of a wheel nut so that he can take a look for us. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic 2010 90 SMC Over Land Nero Edition - Santorini Black Metallic (Now Departed) |

Am I alone in thinking this is something that the wheel supplier/manufacturer should have thought about?
