it worked for me and a mate, however that was on locking wheel nuts, not sure how good it would be on a normal nut/ if it would be small enough for a normal nut.

Ohh they look sweet!

Those stud extractors you first linked up mate, drill a small hole into the wheel bolt then screw that in! Good luck...Put up a photo of your efforts after!

these are ok depending on how tight the bolt is and the hardness of the bolt itself ive broken these extractors before trying to remove bolts.if you get these drill pilot hole deep!
