shail 0 Posted May 3, 2006 Report Share Posted May 3, 2006 I need a new set. What size do they need to be? Ive got standard BBS 15" wheels. Link to post Share on other sites
garfy 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Got mine from VW. Cost about 15 quid IIRC. Still to fit 2 of them though because the numpty who tried to get mine off sheared the original with his air-gun :@ so I'm still waiting to do it and hoping I don't get a puncture :-| Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Thats cheap for vw! Are they any good. I've just had to have my old ones taken off for the same reason, had totally fooked the key. Muppets. :@ Link to post Share on other sites
garfy 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Yeah I think that was it. I'll dig the receipt out tonight. They seem better than the originals insofar as they don't use the 'pins' instead they use a patterned insert that the key slots into, if you know what I mean... Link to post Share on other sites
jb9999 0 Posted May 4, 2006 Report Share Posted May 4, 2006 Yep. Thats the type that was on mine. Looks like a squiggle on the top of the nut. Bit of a twat to get off as well, even with the removal tool, which is a good sign.If yours is the type with the three pins on, you should be able to get them off by hammering a 19mm socket onto them, as they aren't hardened steel, I've done this myself in the past and you'd be supprised at how easy it is to get them off.(off my car, not other peoples,by the way :-d Link to post Share on other sites
