Bit of advice, wouldn't spend less than £30 on them. Also get ones with individual security, not ones which can be taken off use the same combination/method.

Mcguard locking nuts are very good. Had them on my Saxo and lots of people reccommend them. Around £30-35.

my OLD vauxhall ones were like that, on the top was the 3 pin pattern for the key and around it was a spining suface so u cudnt grip it with anything!!!!!

they hadnt been taken of my car in years!! so had rusted shut!!! took the garage at least 10minutes per nut to get of!!!!!

apparently vauxhall dont do these any more now!
