Pearsy47 1 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 the best locking wheel nuts are the Mc Gard ones i ve got them on after having trouble with the ones on there and they are all good with tyres i would say the Toyo's mate Link to post Share on other sites
SamboVr6 0 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 Yeah my bro got a set off ebay trying to save money and they were absolutely shocking! Not the best idea. 8-) As for the McGard ones, ive got them on mine at the moment and they are good, not had any problems. Link to post Share on other sites
