Errrr possible problem....
Picked my car up 2 weeks ago and the thought of checking for the locking nut adaptor never crossed my mind, well low and behold it isn't there and no longer have the contact details for the previous owner, it's a corsa c Sri and the locking wheel nuts look identical to my previous ones on my previous car, surely there not all different so would another one fit from another Sri if same year ect?

chances of coming across and indentical set are slim, does the car still have the code key for the locking wheel bolts?

when i had a missing locking wheel nut i took it to a local tyre place and they had a massive box of loads of keys and had one that matched! result!
plan b would have been either banging a slightly smaller socket over it or get a professional locking wheel nut remove kit and replace with a new set

you can get a reverse thread socket from machine mart which should get it off. they wont be identical i wouldn't think otherwise they aren't really locking wheel nuts
