Hi Had the same problem with my FL2 wheel nuts not studs, lost key which are made of soft alloy anyways.
Ground a notch into the out casing. 1 the rings were also rusted to the nut. 2 Then a chisel was used to drift the nut round bit by bit. 3 4 5 6 Also thrown away after and replaced with new nuts only, but must look for some decent locking nuts

Well, just putted new expensive rims on my immaculate serpents, so worth enough. And, it happened to my Ford Fiesta with the same age, all 4 rims stolen and the car resting on briks and stones causing damage to the car. Not nice at all, so for me I have a security camera on my cars nowedays and yes I have special wheel bolts.

I see fixings for one wheel is £11.99 on that link, but all four wheels is £25.49 on the same page. Rimmers is £17.94 for one wheel for 'genuine OEM'. Big differences in price. Any differences in quality possibly?

All i can say is that the locking ones on my tourer have been on for 4yrs now and they are still ok and i have my wheels of at least 20 times a year, the key is also still good, trick is to stick to the 125Nm for the bolts/studs when tightening them up, and keep apes away from them
