i had a phone call form my bro last nite said his car was makein a loud noise

any way he come home we looked at it today

and found out that all 4 alloys were almost off the car how they never fell off i will never no

so wen checked and found out that all the lockin keys were lose aswell

i decide to check my speedlines as i no the day before one my caps was off on the floor thought nothink of it as u do just put it back on and left it at that

so i checked my alloys and 3 of my alloys were all lose

sounds to me like some one was tryin to knick then but mine had lockin nuts aswell

long story short is there any locking nuts i can get that now one but me can undo as i dont want the speedline goin walkies

How do you mean 'almost' off the car? As in they've loosened them to come back later for them? If the locking bolts were loose why didn't they take them?

And when you find one of your centrecaps on the ground beside your wheel I'd class that as suspicious.

McGuard locking bolts are meant to be good, think they've got the spinning top bit on them as well.

need some locking nuts that have the centres that stay motionless but have a swivel edge so makes it alot harder to get off

^^ I think he means that his brother's wheels were loose, then when he found this out checked his own to make sure.

Sounds like someone has tried to do away with you's rather than nick wheels!!

just remember locking wheel nuts are far from the solution they aren't hard to get off at all, cctv and a flood light is a good idea.

Speedline Centre caps don't just fall off. Mine were quite awkward to get off iirc.

Sounds like someone had the centre caps off

I have these too. Still has the pattern in the middle but the outside of the nut just spins so making it really difficult to get a socket over
