StevoD Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 there super long tuner ones (steel not ally) and most sockets only go about 1/3-1/4 way up the nut but i made the mistake of just using a regular socket instead of the key as it was close to hand one day and i ended up twisting the nut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliveBoy Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Just take your own wheels off every night, then they can't be taken 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebedy Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Mind you I've seen guys putting 2k wheels on their £800 Paxos and 1.2 Fiestas. lol why????? Whats the most expensive set youve ever bought guys. Mine was probably 1500 with tyres I bought once for a MK2 Astra SRi during that fast a furious years. Yes sad I know.

Tinyflier Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have some spare 350 ones, if you want them? ooo - yes please... just been too lazy to find a set and take off the locking nut. If "Flex" doesn't take your offer I will... be happy to pay a reasonable sum. David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ekona Posted October 10, 2014 Author Share Posted October 10, 2014 I've probably got enough for both of you, tbh Shoot me a PM next week to remind me, and I'll have a look. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I never bothered with locking nuts when I changed to 370 wheels until one by one my mates noticed and thought I was mad not having them, I got paranoid and bought lockers for them in the end. I agree though if scumbags what them they will take them regardless. I have a set of 350 wheel nuts going if Ekona runs out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

docwra Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Put it this way, if they really want to steel your wheels do you really think a locking wheel nuts going to stop them? after all you can pick up tools to remove them anyway, same goes for car alarms...even the intelligent ones, if a professional thief want your car.... Decent lockers are a different prospect, particularly if you have smallish wells for them - I remember when I got my Project Mu's they made it clear that I needed to keep the serial numbr in case I ever needed to replace the locker key, it was specific to that particular set I still run them on the Zed but dont bother with anything else, but then TBF the wheels on the zed are worth as much as my 306 and 328i put together Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have some tuner nuts and a key on my Zed, the standard ones wouldn't fit my Penta Axis wheels and I think they cost a tenner. Caroline doesn't have any locking nuts on her Zed, just the nuts that came with the Rohana wheels. Pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaydnH Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have only ever sold one set of locking nuts lol Was that a set of red muteki ones by any chance? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flex Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I have some spare 350 ones, if you want them? That would be epic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desey Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 if i was to steal someones wheels i would just go on ebay and buy the key for the set off wheels i wanted pretty simple really Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RickyZ Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 Think it depends where you live and park. Probably don't need to lock my house up but you just never know. Someone stole my side indicators off my old golf once and you could buy them for a tenner. I guess if it's easy they'll go eventually Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricey Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 They are about as much use as covering up your number plate in a sodding advert! God that boils my **** when people do that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4RE Leather Posted October 10, 2014 Share Posted October 10, 2014 I think i would risk assess it as to where you live and where you're likely to go - Nissan price for replacement wheels (excluding rubber) for the 370 is £1200 each The 350 Gt wheel was £1130 from Nissan in December 2011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
