Lost my wheel nut key :-(

[Bill Edwards]

If I'm seeing it correctly and there isn't a spinning collar then it'll be one of the easiest types to remove there is, and just about every wheelnut removal tool available can do it or some of the home methods (hammer a socket on) might work.
If you were local I'd take them off in a matter of moments, without even marking them!

put key in slot and it should just pull off no key just hammer a screwdriver into it it's only a cover over the nut

As above, butchery with a hammer and screwdriver worked, getting it picked might work as long as they leaves in the barrel haven't rusted up

Thanks to Normspanners and ten minutes they are out!! His easyout kit worked a treat and I have replaced the lock nuts with normal ones.

Now, living on Merseyside, I'm thinking of fitting miniature video camera bolts to catch anyone trying to pinch my lovely alloys

Holy ....

I can't imagine ever having to do something like that.
The worst I can think of if something was so tight no extractor would grip it and a cobolt drill couldn't do it for some strange reason would be a plasma torch, probably wouldn't do anything much to the rim if care was used.

That looks like the VW commercial technicians have had a go

Looks like that was done under the influence of several different chemicals, including some new and up till now untested ones.

Modern thieves will steal the cameras and leave the wheels, they don't like being stereotyped these days!

When this happened on mine I just hammered a 1" socket over the locknut and undid it.

How the hell do you make so much mess. Should have gone to specsavers

 

[normspanners]

That has to be a urine take--- especially with the disc marks all over the place
