17" Standard Alloy Nuts

Hi all

The nuts that come along with the standard 17" wheels, how secure are they?

Id is advisable to get something else?

Cheers

Gary

They are only as secure as how tight you put them on, installed correctly they are perfect, plus, they are actually bolts ;)

I think he means compared with other locking wheel nuts!

Hi all

Hmmm....maybe worded a little wrongly on my part.

I mean how safe are the standard locking ones for nicking?
Ok to leave as is or get something else?

Cheers

Gary

:I:I:I I have 2 sets of locking wheel bolts on my car on each wheel, the Mini standard and another set :)

Cheers

Might do the same.

I've got two sets, but have not got round to fitting the 2nd yet. Can someone tell me - do i need to jack up the car to change the nuts, or can I just do it on the ground?

I think I am going to have to lift her in case of thread damage?

Safe enough to do one bolt at a time :)

Hi all

I've only seen silver ones on the Internet.........are there any that with match with the current black 17"'ers?

Cheers Bonnie!

gary, you can get them but I think you have to get them from elsewhere, I know a few people who had issues getting dark locking nuts.

Hi all

Cheers for the responses.
