Dare I suggest ... locking wheel nuts!!

Either that or keep them in your garage and put something else on the car that the sumbags won't want to nick!

Red face

Lockin wheel nuts 2 sets,
Get the inside of the rim stamped with your reg,then paint the stamped area with yellow paint so they can see it.
Or you could allways paint the whole wheel pink then they will be safe as houses

I didn't knowpslewis had multiple accounts?

Don't worry about it. If it gets stolen, call the police. I'm sure they'll take the time out of issuing speeding tickets to help you look for it...........I wish.
