locking wheel nut recomendations
 
can anyone offer any advise regarding locking wheel nuts.
from a search on here it seems most can be removed with a socket.
seem like a bit of waste of time. what does everyone do? dont wanna waste £35 on some if they can be wipped off.
anyone tried these? they look difficult to remove with a socket.

They must be good to get Thatcham approval though, no other nut has!

Two on each wheel (to stop the wheels being wobbled loose); alhough they can be removed with a certain American bodgers spanner too...

McGards have had a spinning collar since before 2002. Thats when the Subaru standard parts were upgraded anyway. Theyre substantially cheaper from a dealer as a Subaru part btw, than from retailers as a McGard product.

The McGards come in 2 lengths that fit Scoobs. I'd go for the shorter ones. I wish I had because mine stick out about half an inch. Mine were only £8 new off ebay, though.

would these do. cheaper than halfords but they are open ended.
