Ive bought some new alloy wheels for my VTS and was about to put them on but realised that each have the alloys on at the moment currently have a special bolt (locking nut) on them. I have not got anything to be able to remove these bolts. whats the easiest way to get these bolts of.

Or you will have to drill them off.
Get a stud removal kit from somewhere like Halfords.
Or go to Kwikfit or somewhere like that and they usually remove them for about £5 a wheel.

OK Managed to get them out , But know the rest of my other bolts are too short (because of the spacers) and so i have got to buy a new set of 12 bolts and locking nuts , these wheels are becoming a real pain in the ass

aslong as the bolts have atleast 6 turns, you are okay to use them.
