I took them off mine - as has already been said, those that are likely to steal wheels will not be deterred by them anyway.. 4.2 Supercharged Vogue SE |

12 voters have them, 11 not. Only a snapshot but thought many more would have them. |

Maybe the members on here take note and have a bit more savvy then many FF drivers? Almost every FF we get in to the workshop has them fitted...

Cheers Craig, very helpful. Nothing wrong with our locking nuts but I'll stop using them now as the wheels look better with standard nuts (IMO), the chances of wheel theft seem negligible and as you say, if a locking nut fails, the implications of dealing with that failure appear to outweigh any benefit in using locking nuts on these cars.

Yep took mine off a few months ago when I did the tyre swap was lucky enough to have another set of nuts (don't tell the missus )from when I had other rims on the p38 so was able to get rid of a few that had swollen |

Not fitted when I bought the car, never been a problem going without.
