I used pliers to get my mums standard vauxhall ones off!
I think its more of a time frame deterant to be fair, as most will say they'll just nick your car if they want em that bad.
but an old socket should do the trick

Get them drilled out, £80 for the first one, £50 a wheel after that.
or, go to Halfrauds, and buy some locking wheel nut removal sockets, which should get it off.
o no! thats no good is it we buy locking wheel nut to keep the pikys frm nicking our wheels and then they make a kit to help em

Probably better to have it done by a garage, it'd probably fly off and smack him in the mouth if he tried it

Use an impact screwdriver/socket driver. Do you know what i mean? You hit it with a hammer and it turns at the same time

oxy-acetylene cutting gear should do the trick
those left hand threaded sockets look like they should work! when i lost my key it was only 2 weeks old so i just ordered a new one from germany, it was here in 3 days, do you have the box they came in still?

I'm using standard Vauxhall Vectra 15" alloys with the locking standard hubs. The only difference with my setup is that although I only need a standard hub removal key....if anyone tries to undo them, my car is gonna kick off
So, sod the locking bolts I say....invest £50 in an alarm add-on (£30 more than semi-decent locking bolts) and get a microwave sensor....
