Old lock nuts

[markmadman2]

Hi all, just got my 83 320i back from "storage" and the wheels are going to need removing. The thing is it has these locks on three of the wheels but there is no key to be found, anyone know if these are BMW items? And if not any idea how to get em off?The car also had a full set of the old cap type locks with the keys fitted so someone wanted to make sure their bottletops stayed put

Not BMW items. If locking wheel nut removal sockets won't shift them, the usual practice is to weld a hex. nut onto the end of them.

Was afraid you were going to say that, thanks for the reply

Luckily had a guy from Belfast direction and another gent from London say they had spares (they have a set on their own "original e30's" so looked what turned up sat morning
