We smashed my mates off the other day because he broke the key. Get a thick peice of metal, hold it with some moleys and place one end against the bolt. Smash the other end with a 5lb lump hammer. Soon come finger tight.

Hammer a socket over them, buy 4 sockets for less than a tenner from halfords, you'll pay more than that in labour if you go somewhere to do it for u

Gash, hammer and chisel? Best get to a garage, they might have one of those drill bits that pull the bolt out

tom this is the bolts, top 4 all look the same and bottom one is different, i dont think the top 4 are locking wheel nuts they are just the bolts which came with the wheels, the bottom one definately is though, i dont have the keys for either now.

Halfords may have them. They aren't specific to the alloys the are just a slimline bolt.

The term you are looking for is "bellend"
as I said park against a wall or between two cars

I'm trying to think of other alloy shops in the area. My mind is blank
