Originally had Halfords ones and they rusted badly. Now the Subaru ones, but just had to destructively remove one after to change my rear pads. Any suggestions of a good quality one where the key won't bend when you use it, manking the holes in the wheel nut too!
Me and locking wheel nuts never seem to work properly - I end up bending the wheel nut spanner, the wheel nut or the key and I always ask tyre places not to overtighten them for this very reason. Pity if my wife needed to change a tyre!

Also trying to find a UK stockist. Don't want to buy crap ones which break or rust AGAIN!

John,
Speedline have put me in touch with one of their dealers who recommend these security nuts (all the details I took down are at work and will have to wait for the morning). If I rememeber correctly they are £35 per set and they suggest two sets per vehicle. How can I contact you for exchange of details?

Thanks johnbanks@dsl.pipex.com for details would be great! I've found Smarter Direct http://www.smarterdirect.com/products.htm who stock the above McGard ones which do look pretty solid and as though they won't rust and don't have silly covers!
Why two sets a vehicle = £70?? Surely just one per wheel is required? Are they McGard or another make?
