   I was changing my wheels over on my car 2day and the locking wheel nut centre diameter has sher'd of leaving only the locating pins and this isnt enough to do it up tight without then rounding of the pins on my locking wheel key. The only saving grace is that i was doing it up after Id taken my vts rims off to sell. drill and tap it out or is there an easier solution
   
   yes iv have searched

   bang on what york1366 said, i bought my vts a few weeks ago and the kid didnt have the key for the locking wheels nuts so the 19mm socket and a bloody good hammer did the trick lol

   i give that ago. Im an engineer so drill and taping it out really its a big deal if it doesnt work just have to get some new locking bolts
