dlakers3peat Member 67 Member For: 18y 1m 9d Gender: Male Location: sydney Posted 04/12/07 07:09 AM Share Posted 04/12/07 07:09 AM Yesterday I came back from work and found 2 lock nuts missing from my wheels. one off the drivers side and one off the passengers side. I guess they had just started when maybe someone disturbed them. Anyway I have lock nuts on them. How easy it for them to take the lock nuts off. I was thinking of by another set. anyway I will leaving my car in different place everyday if I can. also they screwed the thread and now it has to be replaced. whats bastards. they are 19" typhoon II replicas with new falken 452s.
