Before the inevitable happens, I'd like to swap out my locking wheel nuts for some new, less likely to break ones. Does anybody have any recommendations on which security set to buy? They're for an '04 S60. Cheers

well as i see this on a daily basis going to jobs where locking nuts or the keys are damaged, mostly from cheap sets or garages using impact gun to remove, I choose to use or recommend McGuard
keys are a tad deeper so last longer and take more torque but thats not saying you can use impact gun on them lol

I always us McGuard locking wheel nuts as well, I've had six sets on various cars with no problems. If I am getting tyres changed I remove them before & fit normal wheel nuts so they can't over tighten them. I then re-fit & tighten myself, that way if I do damage the key/nut I can sort it before I get a puncture & left stranded at the side of the road.

We used Halfords one's on the S60R which I believe are McGuard.

EVO 5 are good but have come across a few that have failed from over torque
