it's 2009, not 1989. most cars have alloys now anyway.

i'd actually be impressed if a pike was able to steal a set of wheels. fair play to it.



Comedian in the house....  :wink:

People use LWN for aftermarket wheels not factory wheels ......

McGuard do a good range, not sure if your wheels would require the tapered heads or the OEM radius  :undecided:
You'd need M14 x 1.5 x 27mm with either a radius head or tapered

I've got a LWN key with 1 bolt if I can find it I can send it to you (for free) then you just need to order 3 correct bolts. It's gen VW.

I ordered a LWN when I sold my TDI as I thought I'd lost it. then I found it!
