Hi, I need help.....i'm getting close to finishing my Cab project and hit a little snag, when i bought it it had a set of 15" BBS with good tyres so have been using if whilst restoring it, never tried to take the wheels off as i was leaving suspension / ARB / new wheels ect to the end ....took of the caps the other day and found a set of BMW locking nuts on there
. (the guy who sold it to me neglected to mention he had lost the key for it) i know theres about 20 differant ones but does ayone know if you can tell which one it is so i can try to get one as i cant get my wheels off and dont want to re-morgage to get the nuts drilled out.

surely that defeats the purpose of having locking wheel nuts if there's something in Halfords to remove them....
I shudder to think what will happen once the lowlife scum find this out :p

i took a chisel to mine, as long a you are carefull, they come off no problem without any damage to the wheels .
you might not want to go down that road if your wheels are in decent nic and you want to keep it that way tho!
