50euro per wheel is robbery! Imagine loosing a lock key and being charged 200euro to get them taken out and tgen the price of 4 nuts on top of that.

We offer to smash the wheels [emoji38] garage is to cheap to buy the tool, they replace the alloys and say the lock nut failed so it's claimed back from opel [emoji38]

It's fun hitting alloys with a sledge hammer though [emoji38]
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway :thumbs:

Smash an old socket on and use a strong impact wench.. It's worked for me in the past ha. But I imagine it could quite easily damage your wheels if you weren't careful
