#1: Locking wheel nuts *SOLVED* Author: jayz206gti, Location: TamworthPosted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 7:03 am ---- Just went to remove the front wheels so i could do a quick brake service and pad change only to be met with these.....
I knew as soon as i saw them they would be trouble as i had them years ago on one of my old 205's! Just as i thought, the metal just warped and now i will have to get them drilled out!! Awesome!
Can anybody tell me if these will fit as a replacement once the others are removed? Any help would be appreciated as i now have to go into work for a meeting. Locking Wheel nuts Last edited by jayz206gti on Fri May 04, 2012 4:49 pm; edited 2 times in total

as lee said locking nuts wont ever stop people from stealing your wheels just slow them down if some one wants them mate they will pop off your centre cap and take them off that way

It is a Vortex alloy just one of the early ones that look like they have a centre cap

simples

Author: anton1989, Location: west midlandsPosted: Fri Apr 13, 2012 11:47 am ---- when i bought my car it had alloys on, went to change the alloys the other day to find it had 4 locking wheels nuts!!! 2 different sets went to the boot found the thing to undo them only to see that it was rounded!!! gutted i spent hours trying to get them off in the rain, in the end i just took it to garage and let them deal with it which they did never getting them put on again. as someone said if someone wants to steal them they will.
