Anyone know the part number of the McGard Locking Wheel nuts that I should use on some 16" 100+ Monza's on a corsa B. Im hoping to get some off ebay.
Are there any other makes worth getting?
Thanks

I would NOT buy mcguard lock nuts, mine lasted just under a year.
The adapter you use to get the lock nuts off was damaged after maybe using it 3-4 times and it mashed up the rest of the lock nuts.
I had a job of taking the lock nuts off then and the last lock nut i took off the adapter fell to peices.
Dont know whether i can get a new one as im sure it says it has a lifetime warrenty?
On the other hand like ed said, my vauxhall ones i had with my sxi are much better, they have been on the car since day 1 and have had no problems with them. in my opinion they are of a better quality.

my mcguard locking wheel nut mashed itself as well, give mc guard a call, the number will be with the paper work that has your code thingy on it.
if u send them the broken one they send you a new one free!
great service i thought, if they were an english company they would prob try to screw you by saying that u messed up the key and u r liable.

there should be some paperwork in the plastic packaging somewhere, where all the information is for registering and your codes for the master nut

Of course they're worth it. They're much cheaper than new wheels.
