Well i've got the chance of 2 free sets of Vauxhall locking nuts, my Dad is a driving insructor so don't want his ones, and my sister is trading in her Sxi for a BMW so i'll nick her nuts before she gives it to them | |

yup. mcgaurd and thatcham approved. Counts for summin. more expensive than the run of the mill ones but worth it considering they are protecting ur £600+ alloys. | |

Thing is, this type of nut can still be stolen quite easily. My dad used to have a BMW, and the locking nuts these used had a cap that was locked by an actual key, and then they were locked they just used to spin. | |

Personally mate i'd go for McGuard just remember to carry the locking 'keys' on you in somewhere unobvious in the car | |

After fitting my new wheels on Thurs, and washing my car today one of my locking nuts have gone. I've either not tightened it properly and its fallen out, or someone has starting trying to nick my wheels. |
