WHAT DOES A 'LOCKING WHEEL NUT' LOOK LIKE?
Locking wheel nuts come in various designs, but look similar in exterior design. They're often made from Steel and Cylindrical in shape - most are approx. 4 cm's long and 2 1/2 cm wide. One end of the key is hexagonal in shape (six-sided) and

is designed to fit into the wheel wrench, the other end is hollow with a patterned insert which is designed to engage/grip the security wheel nut for removal. The image shows the Locking Wheel Nut on the left and the security wheel bolt on the right.
