i find that if you run two normal nuts and three different lock nuts on each wheels things are even slower.. used to take me forever to get wheels off cars when i worked at beaurepaires and i had the locknut keys!

i got busted stealin wheels,sorry guys,and i just wanted to say that theres so many ways to get around locknuts,the hardest ones to get off are the locknuts that are round with a cut out on the inside those things are bit(hes,sorry for the off topic,they wont have trouble sellin them cos they probably went down to a holden dealer and stole 1 more,so best bet would be to keep an eye out for a set for sale go have a look at em and ask for reciepts or check to see if all the tyres are the same,stuff like that,i got busted stealin vy gts 19s from moorabin hsv i already had two i just grabbed the other two,and yes i've learnt my lesson,and now a holden dealer(un named) is going to pay me to prevent thefts,hence gettin caught in possesion of $150,000 worth of stolen cars and parts, sorry now i'm just goin on and on, but the moral of the story,is to always run locknuts 2 on each wheel,try getting the cutout type,and no i've never stolen anything from any1 from here,i stole everything from car yards,and i have truly learnt a extremely valuable lesson at the ripe age of 18,that stealing is dishonest,bad karma,and to those out there that do, learn from my mistakes,how would u like to be 18,engaged,have some one in your close family dying and lookin at a jail sentence of 8yrs max in 8 days,over something so im-mature,greedy and out rite stupid,it just aint worth it,i'm not askin for sympathy i'm just tryin to get people to learn from my ***** ups,cos i'd never wish wats happening to me on any1
