What's so special about them?
Don't you just need a key from a set made by the same company and you can the undo anyones?
Or are they specially coded?
If so which ones would you guys recommend for my set of alloys (standard renault ones)?
Cheers |

you pop them out as well but they require a screw driver at least .
however my new set of ph1 turbines do have locking caps on them  |

mcguard are good.
Keys are all different. Some may undo others though but may amage them.
Get a 2nd hand set from e-bay.
I am not so much bothered about my wheel sgoign its my tyres! |

had to have my locking wheel bolts drilled out 'cus the things had seized in and the special socket for undoing then was broken. Absolute waste of time and money imo, if sombody wants to nick your wheels they'll do it anyway. |

I went to change my brake pads last night and i can't find the bloody key  so going to have to bang a spline socket over them tonight, not happy at all so locking nuts only seem to stop you getting your own wheels of as no-one has ever attempted to nick the wheels! |
