Understand m8

From what I can see, this seems to be a US only piece of kit. A quick search of the web/UK finds nothing identical that could be got. I certainly haven't one. Is it common in the US? Try the bases as there are quite a few US scoobs about.

If you find one, I may be able to help with getting it to you.

no one on base has it.... and they want 15$ for it online but more than 70$ to ship here... does noone in the UK use locked or special drive lugs.... noone is worried about rim-stealing vagabonds...

Not on your bases they're not lol - no-one wants an Apache chasing them

Do a search on Google and select UK. There is a crowd called "Just Off Base" which maybe caters to the US citizens over here? Maybe ask them.

Contact Justoffbase

I'm just down the road from you so will keep an eye out for you.

I assume you only have one of these on each wheel, or are all the nuts of this type.
If only one per wheel how about getting a large easyout and try using it.
Another option is to try some of the local tyre shops as many of them have tools for removing damaged lock nuts.

Was just looking at this thread and it looks like the tool above would fit these.

whack any old socket on with a hammer to get them off and put standard nuts on would be a thought.

you can get special sockets to remove locking wheel nuts , most motor factors sell them now , makes locking wheel nuts a bit useless if you ask me but hey !
