I am alright without them, got TSW Evo R's, they have a plate that sits over the top of the bolts held on with a really big nut. The nuts a bugger to get off without causing damage putting people off bothering to nick em. | |

You shouldn't tighten locking nuts up as much as normal nuts. I overtightened my McGard ones and knackered the key :( | |

i bought two sets of locking studs from vauxhall they seem to be the same as McGuard and the bloke behind the counter said they were as strong as normal bolts. And at 25 quid a set did'nt seem tooo pricey:) | |

yeah that was what i was thinking (for strenght, and weight distribution, in case locking studs are heavier/lighter than std) | |

Locking studs are not as strong as regular bolts, especialy if there the cheep and crappy tri-lock type. If you do use two locking bolts on each wheel make sure you put hem on oposite each other and not adjacent. | |

ive got a set of mcguard wheels locking bolts (1 on each wheel) and the 3 std other studs, so u think it will b ok with 2 std studs, 1 mcguard stud, and another locking stud i have? | |
