Newbie tire change question for alloy wheels
#1
![Default](/forum/images/icons/icon1.gif)
I haven't asked my stupid question of the day so here it is.
I wanted to rotate my tires on the 2000 s-type jaguar (with allow wheels) and noticed that the wheel nut looks 'loose'. Is this a locking wheel nut and do I need a special tool to remove it and adapter in order to take the lug off? I checked the trunk/boot, removed the full spare and could not find any tools other than the standard tire iron.
So, what's with the wheel nut cover?

tbird6 - Found the post by androulakis. Thanks for the hint. Will look into getting a set like these:
Replacement Solid 1 Piece Lug Nuts.
DORMAN Part # 611229
Thread M12-1.5 / Hex Size 19mm / Length 37.48mm / Seat Angle 18.4mm dia. X 7.16mm / Finish Stainless
Update : My gosh Amazon has them at $1.67 each (via auto parts 123) and at $40 for a complete set it is worth a try...
Thanks.
