What fitting is this??
Good morning,
Any idea what socket piece I need to undo these wheel nuts? They're innovit wheels, no idea if the nuts came with the wheels tho! I've tried several spline and star sockets (1/2 inch?), and none seem to fit. A star doesnt have enough groves, and a spline has too many. Picture below:
Cheers!
Steve

Looks like a locking wheelnut to me.
When you bought the car, was one supplied? Tried looking in the little toolkit behind the trim, n/s inside the boot?

Everynut on each wheel it the same. So, they're not locking wheel nuts.
Sorry, I should have mentioned this.

A T60 star socket didn't have enough grooves, but was a close fitting.
A 14 (?) Spline socket was very close but had too many grooves...
Umm, any ideas?
