   You can buy a specific size socket that tightens onto the locking but when you try and undo it - I think they are made by Laser.
   
   I got all 4 of my locking bolts off with them, but chewed up the bolt hole in the alloy as the socket was tight in the hole.
   
   Garages quoted me at least 3figures to try and get them off. Cost me around £30 in total including a quick refurb of my old wheels - just sat under my bed now
