Hi all
My 2012 PRHT did not come with locking wheel nuts. Do people bother these days? My impression is that since the greater majority of cars have alloy wheels these days they are not so worth 'pinching'. Indeed, the 'great unwashed' seem to prefer pinching our catalytic converters these days rather than alloy wheels as they are considered more valuable. In any case, again my impression is that locking wheel nuts can be unlocked anyway with the right know how or tool. I recall with my previous ND the dealer lost the locking wheel nuts but they seemed to unlock them without too much trouble. So what is the general view here....to lock or not to lock the wheels? If the answer is 'yes', where have people got there's from and what is the view regarding the most secure?
Answers on a post card please...
