hawksa Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Could anyone recommend me some locking wheel nuts for use with Team Dynamics wheels? Thanks, Simon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenh Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 Well the studs are Ford pattern, so I'm guessing wheel nuts for a Ford Focus should be the correct thread and seat taper? I'm assuming that your car is a relatively "modern" Westy with the factory alloy hubs etc., based on your car description and your FW style nose/bonnet in your avatar? However, as the locking wheel nuts are likely to be "blind" rather than drilled and threaded right through you need to check that the threaded part is deep enough to accommodate your studs without bottoming out, IYSWIM.

Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 the team dynamics generally have quite a narrow hole, hence Simon's question. I suspect most/not many locking nuts will not fit! I've used these: Spline Closed External Drive Splined Tuner Wheel Nuts STEEL - Black - M12 x 1.5 which require the supplied tool to remove them. I've covered the tool with heatshrink to prevent chipping the paint around the wheel nuts. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Spline-Closed-External-Drive-Splined-Tuner-Wheel-Nuts-STEEL-Black-M12-x-1-5-/271583831391?hash=item3f3ba8655f They have gone slightly rusty where the tool must has marked the paint on the nuts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenD Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 https://www.driftworks.com/internal-drive-wheel-nuts-m12-black-and-silver.html i use these the tool fits inside the nut rather than outside so you dont mark your wheels 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DamperMan Posted November 20, 2017 Share Posted November 20, 2017 To take the whole car you need little more than a sack truck to take it away. Depends where you park the car i'd say to be honest. Its hard to measure there effectiveness only there ineffectiveness... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
