Hello,

Today i had to remove my wheels to do some repair but it seemed the previous owner had fitted locking wheel bolts and then tightened them to a ridiculous degree and then tried to remove them, in doing so breaking the key.

So after manhandling them off i now need some new ones, just wondered what you guys recommend?

Normal old fashioned wheel bolts, locking 1's piss me off immensely. Owning an old french car/shitheap has taught me to make things as easy as possible when having to take the bloody thing apart :lol:

Yeah i dont use lockers on my drift car, mainly because it goes through many wheel changes and the wheels are worth nout. I feel the williams' wheels are worth something though, maybe worth protecting from thieves without bolt extractors.
