Two answers for the price of one.:lol:
They look good value for money, but don't know who's used them. Most people use McGard.

The nuts with the locking mech on the outside of the nut are more vulnerable to thieves than the McGard type, but as only another f/tf owner would be able to use your wheels, there is a reduced chance of theft, anyway

The price seemed almost too keen for me but I thought they would match the OE standard nuts well.

The wheels also fit maestros, montegos and a lot of 60's and 70's british cars and chavs assume they fir Rover 200's etc "cos it's a Rover mate, init?"

As F/TF's are so few over here and the PCD is odd, I have discarded the locking nuts and taken the chance who would want my wheels!

Looking at the ones I posted and several similar they seem to all have the same pattern on the lock nut which suggests to me that they only have 1 pattern and that is why they are so cheap.
