Main problem is with the 20 inch alloy is recessed . Also new type of locknut comes with an alloy head that breaks if tampered with this then makes it difficult to reach what remains of the nut underneath as this to is easily damaged.
OK how about you catch a ferry to Liverpool park it down a side street and hey bingo Job done In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.
Aint got car back just getting taxi in to collect will defo post pic of alloy for AL . Googsy

Please cut to the chase, how's the wheel??? Is it well, being nursed back to good health, or is it destined to be a spare in the race of life. I just gotta know!!!
Do not shed a tear Al / DSL wheel is fine only a slightly scorched mark that will touch up and wheel will look as new. more than I can say for the nut .I think things like this happen to all of us who share a passion .Will post a pic shortly . I now have removed all lock nuts and replaced with normal ones. I'm just glad my disco is back to normal and my life can now resume. I think a few beers are in order for all the torment I have had to endure over the past 2 days. Googsy
