Alloy wheel security
Am going to be purchasing a set of locking wheel nuts, but which are the best ones to get?
Is there ANY that will not come off with an undersize socket and a 3lb hammer???
Your thoughts please..

TBH it was from an article in the RSOC.
Martin, think that was his name,he had a focus RS and did a feature on it etc...went through the lot.
He said about the Ford locking nuts and said to change them as the focus had them on and sugested owners changed them to another non-Ford set.
I also have a focus and the locking nut in my car also fitted my mates car.

talk about post hijack
just popped in halfords, and they are between 28-32 a set.
fook knows what sort i get tho, as the booklet by it is about as useful as a handbrake for a canoe.
im getting oz super t's, so if anyone can get the right code for me it would be much appreciated.

Just a bit too expensive.
Do like the red ones though.
If i were to buy Davess car..say 4.5k, i might aswell sell mine the way it is and add the 4.5k to that and buy a cheap escort cos, save me all the messing around.
Sorry Stu.
