6620bishop Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Hello there, Ive just bought a new car which needs 2 new front tyres ASAP, the problem is, the car did not come with the wheel nut key to take the wheel nuts off and i can not tell what make the alloys are to contact the supplier. The wheel nuts can be forced off, but they can not be put back on again too well, i have tried buying locking wheel nuts but the key to lock them in does not fit in because of the alloys. I have been to many garages and they do not have the correct key for it and Halfords only have a key for the type of alloys they supply. Any help would be great Im hoping from one the pictures below, one of you will be able to tell me the make The car is a Renault Clio Extreme 2002 1.2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rich Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 HelloA torx bit will fit those. It would have to be bloody big! I would try getting some normal nuts/bolts to replace them with as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 They are made big mate, we see these "nuts" all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 They are made big mate, we see these "nuts" all the time. Really, first time I've seen them. The biggest torx bit I've seen is T60 I think, what size would these be? Would be a nightmare if they rounded! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Posted June 12, 2010 Report Share Posted June 12, 2010 Well yeah that's another story, but we can remove these "female" nuts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
