Wheel lock nuts - ve ssv

[STOCKY SSV]

I have been thinking of putting on the GM Accessorie locknuts on my VE SSV.
Is it worth it? and has anyone had any issues with the locknuts, or is there anything i should be aware of before putting them on?

Got the Holden ones on mine no problems but i suppose what can go wrong
Worth getting them at least might stop some1 stealing them it worth it
Cheers

I had a set fitted when I bought the car. Still have my wheels so I guess that's a positive. Only thing to consider is to make sure you take the bloody key with you when you have tyres fitted or have a service or else the shop will scratch the crap out of your wheels trying to get them off!

Thanks for your help. And yes the black nut covers are a must.
Cheers.

getting a replacement key can be a bit of a drama . Holden dealer will be no help as the genuine holden type i have are made by Mcgard in the good old USA , and you have to source key direct from them .Also keep all the serial numbers in package in case you have to do this.

Had my lock nuts in my shed waiting for my new wheels and some idiot stolen on of my SSV wheels, they would have taken all but I hink they got distrurbed, well worth the money, I have just bought a second set as I wanted chrome wheel nuts. Always laugh when I see a white VE SV6 or better with a sunroof and no lock nuts.................. all the money on a nice car and couldn't afford $400 for a colour and $70 for protection................ I will use my spare lock nuts on my next VE and get the lock nut covers they look heaps better

Wouldn't it be a sensible idea to have your locknut key in the car, cos if you have a flat and need to change it you will be stuck :hmmm:

I know this is a really old thread but its bbetter to add to this then start a new one!

have just purchased an SSV Z Wagon and it doesnt have lock nuts on it - something I intend on rectifying!

I rang holden and they're telling me that there is a specific kit for the "redline" packs... it comes with 20 nuts, 4 of them being locking.

the cost is $122..

does this sound right - not fussed about the cost but just wondering if the kit sounds right?


cheers

Yes this is correct, redline differs from normal
