raffa_mk Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 just bought some nice rims, but before i put them on the car i want to know what is the best locking nuts on the market, i have done little reading and have found that McGard are very good and that they have McGard Ultra, has anyone got these locking nuts?

Starlet__SR Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 The Mcgard ones arent worth it, theyre terrible, I had a set of mine. A garage did mine up too tight, ended up the tapered bit had welded itself to the wheel, when I went to undo it, it snapped leaving the tapered part stick inside the wheel. They're made of pig metal and very brittle, ended up having to drill the stud out then use a die grinder to bore out the rest of the locking nut, needless to say it cost me a new set of wheel nuts.Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites

raffa_mk Posted April 27, 2010 Author Share Posted April 27, 2010 i wouldn't mind paying upto £40-50 for a set of locking nuts but they have to do the job right and not rust, where can you get the Rays locking nuts from? and how hard are they for theives to take them off?

The mcgards are good but have they faults.Damien Quote Link to post Share on other sites
