I know I risk the wrath of Admin, but, we take locking wheel nuts off, it's all we do. We even take them off for some BMW main dealers. The locking nuts shown on this thread aren't really locking wheel nuts, if you can get it off with an old socket (and lump hammer) then it's no different to the other nuts, is it? Modern locking nuts don't come off like that, the spinning ring stopped that. We offer a valuable service to BMW owners, see what we can do,, If admin are unhappy with this post perhaps you will contact me to discuss the best way to offer this service to help your members.
