Once my tyres have arrived my new wheels will be going on and I'd like them to stay on my car..so what locking wheels nuts you all recommend? Or is it a case of just go down Halfords and get the ones they sell??

Thanks James

I think any major brand ones should do the trick.

At the end of the day if someone REALLY wants your wheels they will take them. Its more to stop the chancers really.

Yeah true but better than normal nuts! I spose. thanks

Yeah thats what I mean. If some chancer wants to walk past your car and it has locking nuts they'll probably keep walking. If it doesn't have locking nuts, why not take them, its easy as pie!

went for mcgard thatcham approved ones meself.. cars also gotta tilt sensor alarm but as stated if someone wants them...

just makes me happy I've done me best to stop them gettin nicked.

Had two sets of mcgard items from this guy on ebay: click

Way cheaper than helfrauds infact almost half the price when i looked the other day.

Email him with the wheels and the car and he'll sort you the right ones.

Muchos recommendos.

Get air ride and drop it on the floor so they cant jack your car up to get the wheels off

The expensive alternative to locking wheel nuts .

There is a VW dealers (or similar) at most of the shows! I always pick up a set or 2 of VW genuine locking nuts for about £15.00

I have 2 sets on the car! I have seen all 4/5 bolts swapped for locking nuts!

Cheers for the replies

I went down halfords just to have a look..I don't suppose anyone knows the Mcgard bolt code for VW bolts? I got standard steels on atm, but I won't have to get different ones when I change my wheels??

Thanks

or just park it very close to a wall on one side and then they can only have two wheels cos they can't get to the other ones!! What nob would steel wheels excuse me for saying it but it just seems so risky unless the act is performed in an extremely secluded area at 2 in the morning, i'd ram a wheel up there arse if ever they took mine!! tyre fully inflated and everything!!! tossers!

Really depends on what wheels they are for.
