Default Which locking wheel nuts?

When i bought my Revolution wheels for my Saff, the guy kindly sent me the nuts with them too which was good as i did not realise the std nuts would not fit. So obviously my locking nuts dont fit that were locking the std wheels on.
Any ideas which locking nuts i need?

Thanks.

None at all... I hate the bloody things.

Anyone who really wants to get the wheels off will still be able to do so within seconds with the right tool.

Sure you can get them from Revolution themselves ,might be worth a call. I never had any on mine.

Thats rediculous. Might as well not have an immobiliser or alarm, as they WILL get it if they want it

Its all about making it harder for them .

i wouldnt bother with any
if someone wanted your wheels bad enough its probably easier and less hassle to just take the car than take the wheels off were its sat

Are the nuts you need long sleeved with 90 degree shank on the nut (some revolutions had 45 degree) rather than usual 60 degree taper. Mcgard locking wheel nuts are worth while even as deterant because they are an arse to break off
