No Lock Nut Key For Wheels

[livewire]

Hi guys. Took my car to get wheels changed to find the rims I bought my wheels from failed to give me the lock nut key for them. Is there another way to remove them without risk of damaging the wheels? Thanks

'Rims' was meant to say shop (predictive text on phone) make sense now?

Cancel this post... borrowed a mates lock nut key just to try my luck and low and behold it fits straight on. So much for lock nuts being effective. Won't be bothering with them again

That's lucky! I was thinking of running 2 sets of locknuts once, but probably not a good idea.

I think your post also needed some commas but yeah that's better.. It all rolled into one sentence..

Lock nuts are only an added security.. If a theif had a copy of every lock nut available then they can easily take your wheels.. But it's prob better to have them than not as it stops just anyone with a jack..

I bought the missus some holden lock nuts for her sportswagon the other day.. Bit pricey at $100 but they are unique in the fact that no other lock nut (even in it's same brand) will fit mine.. Also try and find the lock nuts that have the profile on the inside and nothing on the outside.. This prevents them from hammering a socket onto the lock nut to remove them..
