Thread: What wheel is this please?

The rims on the original pic appeared on D2 late2000 or early 2001.They were also on some D2a.Later & last of the D2a had 18" rims which were different,& these vehicles also had a "classic" badge on them.They were on both 7 & 5 seaters.

I've now transferred that into the back of the car instead of worrying about the standard wheel brace. It's much easier getting the nuts off with a breaker bar anyway.
Maybe consider getting something like this instead, they are a very handy tool to have anyway.

I had the exact same situation with the exact same solution. Obviously great minds think alike. I replaced the silly lock nuts as well.

REF the alloy wheel type / name / part number

Page 10 of the PDF. Those are VERY common in the UK, I did have a set of 4 but then the bought the current set of five I have now so sold them on.

Thanks to all for info and links, when it stops raining here I will see if there is any id on the wheel. I rang a wreckers today and he said depending on which wheel it was 200 bucks for one wheel no tyre. Will keep ya posted thanks again.

ref the locking wheel nuts, they only ever fail because they are "Overtorqued" by owners or garages doing work on the vehicles. The wheel nut torque is only 103 LBS ft / 140 NM which is not that tight at all.

Some of the cars I have done work on the wheel nuts have been well overtightened and thats when the lockers become "weak". If you fit your wheel nuts and only ever torque them correctly with a torque wrench, AND keep garages and AIR guns well away from them !!! I see no reason why they won't last years.

I can see the "reasoning" to remove them if you live in the middle of nowhere (which Im sure some of you guys do), but living here in the UK and with light fingered people around, removing the lockers could be very costly, not to mention the hassle when having to buy new wheels / tyres etc.

I agree with everything UP has stated here, however I believe the locknuts will only protect you from the "honest" thieves anyway. Anyone in the business of knocking off wheels would have no trouble with a few locknuts.
