Answer 1

Is this to hold the wheel on?

If so the you can buy all sorts of clips from an engineering store or store for fasteners and bolts. If you want to keep something on and don't worry if it is the same you can use e-clips or circlips.

You could also get some wire bend it and even harden and chrome it. You also get many types of steel wire and rods that you can bend that might look the same.
