i have recently bought some 15" Hartge alloys off ebay, and the key is missing to take the centre caps off. :cry:
i have contacted the seller, but in the meantime, is there any way of getting the blasted things off without the key?

anyone out there know?? :roll:

Should be fairly easy, Im assuming you tried a variety of pokey things? Cotty180 has the correct tool, and may post a photo up of it. Should be simple enough to coax of, get something which fits snuggle in the indentation and turn it to unscrew the locking part.

Oz made these wheels, or at least some of them, so contacting them to get the original might work. I'd post a picture of mine, but the car sold, with the key inside a week ago.

If you don't mind how much did you pay for them?

yup, tried various different ways of proding and poking but still no luck.

the seller just emailed me back and it turns out she forgot to put it in there......DUMBASS!
