Sounds like a McGuard, when you get one, throw the damn things in the bin & fit normal bolts

Four lugs

They were supplied with either the earlier MGR locking nuts or later McGard.

none of the above are the same as mine. Looks like hammer socket job

suggest you post a picture then - sounds like some sort of aftermarket wheel bolt then.

Anyone local to Portsmouth have a locking wheel nut socket I can borrow. I think it's the 11 spline verioon -tried the 12 and it didn't fit.

Please PM if you can help.

Thanks in advance

i think they are crook lock ones my ztt had them the holes elongate in service rendering the removal tool as useless .screwfix bolt removers get them off to throw in the bin

I've just had to have 3 of mine removed at the garage because the socket rounded off, these were the four leaf clover design. They welded some normal bolts on and removed them that way. Cost £48 for an hours labour. I was tempted to buy a spare socket but couldn't be bothered wa\sting the money in case the new socket rounded off as well

I've put my old set back on the car, of which there is only 3 locking bolts they are the spline type.
