Wheel locking nut incorrect, heads up

[Ocean100]

Hi All, Just make sure the locking socket you were provided with actually fits your wheel nuts. I have just got around to taking my wheels off to anti seize them and found the key in my set is wrong it has a 17mm head so anyones guess what it is from but it certainly doesn't fit. Emailed dealer to see how they are going to sort it, pain in the neck.

Once sorted do what many others have done and ditch the locking nuts.

Yes I intend to, I asked the dealer for 4 spare bolts in the email hoping he'll throw in due to the agro

For anyone who has lost a key etc.

There are various website who sell the sockets, you simply take a photo of the wheel bolt and email it to the seller, who then send the correct socket.

I did this for a second hand car I bought, it did not come with the socket.
