Wheel nuts

Unread post by p4n05 »

Good afternoon all,

I had my alloy wheels refurbished as they were diamond cut and looked like a rat had a go at them....The place where i took the car ha issues with one of the locking ones and had to get a specialist to remove it. I was advised to get rid of the locking ones and replace them with normal ones. Could you please advise what is the right size for these so i can order them? The car is a Citroen DS5 2012 plate.

Many thanks in advance

There are two types of wheel bolts for alloy wheels. One uses a 17mm socket and the other uses a 19mm socket. They're interchangeable but if you get the same as already fitted then you won't have to carry two different sockets to undo them.
