^ I'd say that, but the bolt to take them off with had really soft metal inside, I couldn't get one of the bolts out in the end. Had to get it welded / drilled out! Was a nightmare

Until the key breaks and it costs £26.91 from Vauxhall for a replacement 
But yeah, genuine VX ones

I removed mine after one got jammed on.
If someone wants my wheels that much there welcome to them, it would be less frustrating than going through trying to remove a stuck fast rounded sodding locking wheel nut again thats for sure!!

Genuine Vauxhall ones.
Got mine off eBay, brand new. Make sure you have the key code card with them

Don't get Paddy Hopkirk ones, I had them on a 306 and lost the key, just hammered a 19mm socket on them and they come off like any normal wheel bolt.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

TSW's are the best I've come across. Almost impossible to round off and equally impossible to take off without the key.

I really advise you not to get the Vauxhall ones.
The key is too soft and if you're taking the wheels off a few times with it, then it'll almost certainly break. It's happend to me, haimsey and a few other members.

I disagree, we take them on and off all day at work and the key is fine. Only if your useless with a wheel brace and let it slip does it become a problem. I'd recommend them to anyone.

Had two sets now (after leaving the old key on the bolt then driving away ) and IMO they've been great. Only thing is, the key from the 2nd set undid the bolts of the 1st set 
Heard a helluva lot of grief about the vaux ones, but personally never tried them.

I NEVER do work myself  so if anyone is to blame, it's the mechanics, so they can pay for it as far as I'm concerned
