Locking wheel nut - MINI Cooper Forum

Hi I am getting a new MC soon and I just need to know do you get locking wheels nuts as standard? Or do you have you buy them separate, if so how much are they from Mini?

Thanks Richy...

Separate.
From the dealer or get some McGards. Halfords carries them.

Are they only standard on the MCS then and not the MC?

Didn't think about it but that might be a UK thing as I don't think they're standard on anything over here.
Anybody know for sure?

Came as standard on my 2002 Cooper Chilli with 16 inch alloy wheels.

Would imagine that they were standard on all Minis with alloys. Don't know about steel wheels though.

Agreed, I think they're standard on alloys.

My US 2002 Cooper came with alloy wheels and no security nuts.

It's nice to live in a place where I don't have to lock the friggin' wheels on my car!

Thanks, So its looks as though I will have £20 extra for petrol for a long Mini adventure

, if it does come with locking nuts, anyone got a 2006 MC? did it come with them.

I asked the dealer when I ordered mine and the alloys come with locking wheel nuts.
