Hi,
The key for my locking wheel nuts is starting to fail. I have 16" Nimrods on the car. Can I buy any locking wheel nuts or should I be looking for something specific?
Will ebay ok or should I go through the dealer?
I have found these on Ebay:

Thanks

Personally I think there more hassle than there worth, if somebody really wants to take your wheels then at most there just gonna slow them down. I've seen how easy it is to take them out after one of mine rounded off. Even halfords sell the tools to remove them.
But if you really need to either, main dealer or halfords for a set of Mcgaurds.

Great way to void your insurance when your wheels get pinched.

I still have a set on mine, had one round off when I first had the car. Still think there a pain in the a**e though.
