What locking nuts to get

[Clio Nabz]

Hi guys my Clio 182 hasn't come with any locking nuts so was wondering what people use on there's? I have speedline 2118 on her at the mo so would need to fit them

I think I have a spare set mate. If I can find them you can have them for postage cost

I wouldn't bother? How many stories have you heard about people's wheels being stolen? Not many...

As per.

If I wanted to steal your wheels, id pop into Halfords and buy a locking wheel nut remover..

They're absolutely more hassle than they're worth... See suggested threads below here !!

100% agree, more trouble than they're worth.

Bar one car I've always had issues with Locking Nuts, more trouble than they are worth tbh.

I echo the above. Whenever I get a new car, the first time I have to have the wheels off for whatever reason, the locking nuts never go back on.

Serious question. We all spend a lot of time on various car related forums, and Facebook pages. When was the last time anyone heard of alloy wheels being pinched? And I don't mean a spare set that were sat in the garage

Again i agree after having to pay a bloke to come and remove a set from my current clio hate locking nuts

I have four locking nuts on each wheel.

Safety first guys, safety first.

Really lol?

I echo the above, no locking nuts ftw!

And tbh, if i was a little scrote going around stealing alloy wheels and i couldnt get the wheel off due to a locking nut, id probably smash the car up for being an awkward b*****d!

It's the downside to having such a nice coloured car.

Thats why you need four locking nuts on each wheel, theyre the only things that anyone would want to steal unless the thief was a girl.

 

[imprezaworks]

The female>men ratio is strong round these parts mate.

 

[bloke]

i'll be round tonight to steal everyone's wheels :laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

 

[imprezaworks]

Bring a locking removal tool, will stick the kettle on

 

[bloke]

i just use my teeth

 

[imprezaworks]

Makes sense

 

[Clio Nabz]

Wowzers! Looks like I'll leave the locking nuts off then ha cheers boys

 

[Daz...]

A bloke over the road from me found one his wheels only attached by the locking wheel nut the other week. Think I'll keep mine for now.

I've always just kept mine on from the factory.
