Noob wheel question

[lib319]

I've never had alloy wheels before. I have the standard alloys on my 1.8 Mk1 RSi.

One of the nuts is different to the other 3, Do I need a special tool to remove this nut to get the wheel off?

Thanks for any advice

if you dont know the maker of the nut you might be stumped! seen a few ways of getting out

you can have it drilled out. depending on the type of nut you might need 4 smaller sockets and wedge them on. even seen someone weld a socket on to each one!

Go to a few tyre places, quick fit etc etc. These guys usually have a selection of there own locking wheel nut keys, for when forgetful people forget there keys when they go there!!! Someone like them, would surely have one that fits...........
