You should take a picture of what it looks like. I know there's a bit that you can buy in Halford's to 'remove' the lock nuts in case you lost the socket. Might be of some help to you?

If the are OEM audi look nuts then the are all different,your local parts department will be able to get you one for little money.

As Shane said, call to any Audi main dealer and they'll get them off for you, if you want to order a new one you will probably have to wait a while as they wouldn't be in stcok!

I should have it if its original audi type. I will know 100% monday if you can wait, and if these are the ones you can have em for nothing

. But of course, you might need them asap as well.

Get a socket that's a little bit too small, a short extension and a lump hammer. Works every time!!

yeah they are OEM alright.

heres a pic.

i have a lad waitin to come up and buy the wheels. typical as im always pretty careful with these things

Drill the head off the bolt if your stuck. Then remove the remainder of the bolt with a vice grips when you have the wheel off. Not an ideal solution but itl get you out of a jam until you get a new locking bolt set.

5 minute job as above, no point making a mystery out of it.
