I have seen an e30 for sale in coventry with bottletop alloys, The locking nut can only be opened by a key which the owner has not got, Is there any other way it can be opened??

smash a socket over it and undo it ... if you use halfords professional sockets when you bend / break it doign this they will replace it free as the come with a liftime garuntee

Are they the original E30 locking nuts?
If so get just drill the middle out and pull on the lock and the pins will fall where u drill and it will fall out

Hammer and chisel usually works for me.
