dlakers3peat Member 67 Member For: 17y 8m 14d 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.

It'd work best though if you had some billet Performance Ford Radials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
