Locking Wheel Nuts

[Bazthemod]

Tried to change my alloys today so i could send my r105s away but the locking wheel nut on the first alloy sheared off when I tried to un-tighten it.

Has anyone used any non standard Mini ones that are better quality? These seem to be white metal and just so soft! I see Audi wheel nuts are more heavy duty but i dunno if they will fit my car?

Any advice welcome :thumbs up:

nightmare baz, don't know what to suggest, only when you put the new ones on, put some copper slip on the nut before you fit them, stop them seizing next time.
