don't see the point anyone nickin 10's must have a mini or very nice trailer and could go to any auto factors and buy the removal tool. I've never had them on and still have all my wheels.

bearing in mind, this isnt my everyday car, and when its at home it is honestly, chained to the floor.
when i am out in it, it will hardly be out of sight!
i'm not spending 7k to leave it parked up!

I understand where your coming from there as mine will never leave my site when I'm out in it. at home it lives locked up in the garage and we have a anti-ram post infront of the garage door - but it seems no matter what you do they always find a way. It's just not fair, we spend our cash and time making some of the best minis around and some scum that thinks the world owes him a living will just take it for free??

i seem to remember 3/8 with a 60 degree taper but can't be sure. They weren't listed as specifically for the mini but the thread was the same and the taper seemed fine.

edited to 3/8 cheers Tom
