LOL.

Has it been a few days since you put your 18" on? if so are there any signs of someone trying ti nick your wheels?
you can try driving very slowly to the Subaru dealership for a new nut

Carry on driving normally Richard, you'll never be fast enough to stress the bolts anyway

PS Have I missed the point, are you just telling folks that you've got 18's now?

How many people, honestly, would notice a wheel nut missing Only you Mr A and before anyone starts....I know him and i'm taking the pi55 so no lectures about irresponsible driver behaviour for not checking my nuts before and after every journey

Mikey,

you mean you've not fitted a nut-torque-fitting sensor to your car? It's gonna blow...

Cheers,
Nick
