Pending the arrival of my new wheels I'll have to get sorted out with some quality Locking Nuts.
Have been looking at the "McGard Ultra" which seem to get rave reviews but also some other forums have said they've seen them easily removed.
No doubt the majority of you have Locking Nuts so what do you recommend?
Cheers
Graeme

Re: Which Wheel Locking Nuts?
I've got the McGards on my alloys after I read some pretty good reviews online, and they were slim enough to fit my 'nut holes' (or whatever they're called! ) on my wheels.
Do these other forums have evidence that the nuts are easily removed, or is a case of idle speculation?

My apologies, I misread the other forum.
The topic was about a guys who lost his locking key and couldn't then get the nut out. Someone else said to whack a socket over it and it would come off but he wasn't familiar with the McGard design.
They top scored in some Auto Express awards so they can't be bad.

I have a set of virtually new Mc Guards still in their packaging. Would let the go for £25.

Cool. What are you selling them for if you don't mind my asking?
What model are they and will they fit inside most wheels?
If so I'll more than likely take them off your hands.
Cheers
