Does anyone know where I can get a set good quality locking wheel nuts for my Mini?

Thanks.

The s-spokes come with them or are you not happy with that type

I want to add a second set, just for that added security. I did a search and a few people recommend McGard locking nuts. But I'm not sure where to get them or even if you can get them for the new Mini yet.

Check your dealer because I saw they have it for the MINI in the MINI Accessories Brochure.

Have you tried Halfords

I bought a set with my 17" eurace wheels from carvogue.co.uk they are thatcham approved (insurance friendly)

Locking nuts (bolts actually) are available from your MINI dealer. I think the price is about $30 per set of 4.

I have two sets (two locks per wheel) on my MINI. (Yes, I do not want to lose my 17" S-lites.)

Unfortunately, my dealer supplied the same locking code for both sets, so I'll be returing one set and getting a replacement set with a different code. (Just trying to slow any thieves down a little)

That's exactly what I intend to do. I'm going to use the set I get from Mini and add a third party set as well. I had heard McGard locking nuts were the ones to have, it's just a matter of finding them.

I'll give carvogue.co.uk a try, thanks.

Thanks Potts.

I don't have a clue what size bolts the Mini has. Maybe some Mini2 member out there knows?

The bolts are the very sames ones as used on the BMW 3 and 5 series, so that should help. Also same as Rover 75
(my father's 75 has the little caps with the bmw logo
over the locking nuts).

So just ask for bmw 3 series ones and that will do the job

You can get a set of Thatcham approved locking wheel nuts from CarVogue.co.uk. Helps on insurance I understand.
