There is a nice set of corsa alloys at a scrap yard i would like to have. but the down side is they have locking wheel nuts with no key :(. is there anyway you can track down the key ? thanks

if it is not in the car, including looking in the tyre well, then no. there are tools that can remove them, they are called chavs, only kidding...did you ask the scrap man if he could remove them for you????

You just got to love it Halford will sell you a set of locking wheel nuts to make your allys safe but will also sell you a tool to remove locking wheel nuts the irony of it.lol

locking wheel nuts are a pretty clever way of boosting their profit margin....
