My thoughts would be to ditch the locking wheel nuts and replace with the cheapest from eBay knowing that you will be repeating the process regularly.
I really like the "solid" after market nuts, but IMHO they are really too expensive.
Search the thread here or more, possibly differing, opinions.
Good luck.

I also would be ditching the locking wheel nuts, easier for them to take the whole truck than just the wheels.
You have two choices, spend the ridiculous amount of money on solid ones like wringtons, but at £12.50 a wheel nut it does get very expensive but it is one thing you shouldn’t have to do again in your ownership
The other choice is to go for the cheap options again, yes you may have to replace them again in a few years but they are under £2 a wheel. You can do a whole wheel for less than the price of a single wheel but. This is the route I will be going down soon.

I have used a set from EBay, black wheel nuts. I think they were about £40 delivered from the US? Can't recall.
This is them after two years and not very hard winters down here in Oxfordshire...
Not sure I'll be putting them back on and will look to find another solution to matching my blacked wheels.
EDIT: And I am back on OEM brake discs too. The drilled and grooved EBC ones distorted during the summer. Front and back.Jim

Get rid of the lockers, strip the nuts of their caps and replace the caps with a £6 set of chromed plastic covers and find that you can use normal 21mm sockets instead of trying to find a 22mm in the set. Black 05 TDV6 HSE Auto
