Locking Wheel Nuts

[karlp606]

Hey guys,

got an little issue with one of my locking wheel nuts upon trying to tighten it yesterday I have tapered one of threads!

I managed to get the damn thing off the wheel and put another normal nut on, it looks as though 2 of the 3 holes in the screw have cracked and warped so now I have 1 wheel with no locking wheel nut!

I dont want to buy a new set of locking nuts, lexus qouted £40+vat!

has anybody got spare set or know of anywhere where I can get a set?

Cheers

If nobody on the forum has a spare set your best bet is eBay (loads on there at a good price)

I have aftermarket wheels and therefore have no need for my old Locks, you can have them for the cost of the postage :)

Does anyone know which McGuard locking nuts fit standard wheels?

Does anyone know which McGuard locking nuts fit standard wheels?

I had quite a hard job finding this out myself, when I wanted to fit McGard nuts to my 17" 5-spoke wheels. The ones that I got were 21156, they fit ok and look very similar in shape to the OEM wheel nuts. If you're getting them from Halfords you'll find they need ordering in, they don't tend to stock them.

Thanks for this. Do you happen to know how much a set would cost?

I think that mine were roughly £40 from Halfords. You might be able to get them slightly cheaper if you shop around.
