DDK - Die Deutschen Klassiker

Anyone got any do's/don'ts and recommendations for locking wheel nuts? I need to get a set suitable for steelies, and another for Fuch's.

Anything better than Porsche Classic set 993.361.057.00? Seems they're about £40 a set

Thanks
Mick

Hi Mick
Porsche' own will be good for the fuch's. They aren't dear but are a cap nut so I guess won't do for steel's. Can't offer any advice for those.

Sorry Mick I obviously didn't read your whole post before jumping to answer. Can I ask why you want better than the Porsche ones? I have a set of those and if its that they're not concidered too secure I might be wanting to upgrade too.

Sorry not to be clear, but I'm not saying I need more than the Porsche ones, just wanted to know if anyone had found any better options, especially as I believe the Porsche ones are really just for the alloys as I understand.

I've found it is always good to ask on here before making any purchase decision you're not fully sure of!

I got some on ebay for my F10 BMW after the BMW master socket broke, I think they cost £8.99 new for a set of 4.
I can dig out the ebay link if you would like ?

to be fair locking bolts etc are a waste of time as anyone can walk into halfords and the like and get a locking wheel nut remover tool

The only time when locking wheelnuts work is when you have a flat and can't find the key!

Nothing worse than if one goes pop. I spent half a day removing one that shattered (the outer collar is cast I think). They offer pretty limited protection..... except when they break

Also if you really want Locking wheelnuts in my opinion you need to go with an OEM set. Bit strange to have 4 lightweight nuts and one heavy steel one.
