Car got broken into and they stole the locking nut for the alloys, just wondering what I should?

you can usually bray a socket over them to get them out

ive done it loadsa times for mates that have lost theres or bought a car n not been given the lock nut

the mc guard 1s are a little more complex tho as you have to bray 1 over the spinning ring then that will twist off then you can bray 1 over the rest of the nut to get that out

halfords actually do a self tapping rubber nut that screws onto the bolt with a reverse thread. you can then remove the bolt but you wont be able to use it again i think.

£19.99 for a pair

so you would need to pairs
