Toyota. All you need is a 12x1.5mm wheel nut. These are standard on all toyotas and are a 21mm nut.

Holden also run a 12x1.5 on the commodores but are a 19mm. I use these as I can't fit a 21mm socket in my rims.

It's doesn't really matter. Just go to a tyre place and buy a set that suit your rims. I need shallow lock nuts as normal lock nuts interfere with the centre cap. They all come off easily if you know how...

If someone wants your rims, they will simply hammer on a socket over the lock nut then remove the lock nut. We did this all the time at Bridgestone when people lost or forgot their lock nut keys.

If you can barely access the lock nuts, then the chances of getting them off are much less.

How's this, Simmo's brother Matt was telling me yesterday that genuine BBS locknuts to suit their wheels cost something stoopid like 500 for the full set - fook that mon!
