unless you alloys are worth some money i would not bother with locking nuts/bolts. If you loose a key you will have to mess about finding a new one. Flat tyre on a motorway and no key equals ups.  but would agree with the above make.

LOL thats ridiculous! Any set of wheels need locking wheel nuts/bolts!
The thieving hoodlums of nowadays would take a wheel off for fun and drop your car to the floor in boredom!

im going to get some soon. im not taking the chance, i dont think i would be very happy with a disabled car. my wheels are the standard vr6 6 spokes and are in mint condition with michelin pilots on each, so to me they are worth alot :laugh:.

thanks again guys for the help
