michael Posted January 27, 2007 Share Posted January 27, 2007 Are pointless I bought a set for my crappy Legacy, McGuard ones would have been worth more than the car so I got some Wolfrace ones. I was swapping the wheels over today and picked up the adapter from the wheel wrench instead of the locking nut 'key' - to my amazement it fit straight over the splines on the nut and gave a nice tight fit that allowed me to remove them So a standard tool that a thief would use to remove the normal ones also allows them to take the "locking" ones off too - what an utterly pointless item. Obviously nobody here would use cheap nuts like these on a Supra (I have McGuard like a lot of others) but avoid Wolfrace stuff for your other cars. Hopefully they might be a visual deterrent.

how_supra Posted January 28, 2007 Share Posted January 28, 2007 Obviously nobody here would use cheap nuts like these on a Supra (I have McGuard like a lot of others) but avoid Wolfrace stuff for your other cars. Im not surprised Hopefully you are extending that theory on all wolfrace related products as well. The set of wheels on my FTO, I managed to buckle one of them, just by going over a pot hole in the road, at 30mph [in the pouring rain] Then theres the customer service element when trying to buy stuff from Wolfrace - pretty shabby, slow and doesn't really lend itself to repeat custom.
