Well..

I have just invested in a set of these for my AGP. I will post up pictures when I have them on.

Till then, I will be figuring out a way to pay my girlfriend back! Yes, She paid for them!!

I now have my set of Evo alloys : ) I will put some pictures up at some point! But having my luck, the pattern..ey in my locking wheel nut adaptor sheared off so I have two Evo alloys on and two standard AGP alloys on.. : /

At least they're on the same side though, so it could be worse! Really REALLY annoying though!  :(

The fiat locking nuts are made from space dust, dont get another one the same thing will probably happen. The locking nut is probably on to tight and you will need a coopper forming tool to get it off.

They are a nightmare.
By the way the AA got our locking nuts off. It was all four that were stuck on our car.

OK the forming tool method aint pretty and will make you wince if you watch someone do it.
it goes something like this

Or you can use an old socket like this

In the standard AGP alloys you cant get a socket in the hole that is big enough : ( well a garage couldnt and I couldn't. They said it can take a couple of weeks for my locking wheel nut adaptor to arrive  :'(
