So last night someone tried to steal my rims.... They removed 3 of the 4 wheel locks but couldn't get the 3rd off & its completed rounded off I've tried hammering on a 19mm to remove it but its so stripped it will not budge. Should I drill it out? I tried to take the whole assembly off but the caliper will not fit over the rotor while its attached!


I hate THIEVES!!!

 

Never mind I drilled the lug nuts center out & then split it in half!

 

damn, sucks to hear. I hate thieves, had my 1st car stolen as a teenager, have been paranoid since then. Garage is your best defense, but glad to hear they didn't steal your wheels or your ride.

 

You could press out the old stud and then install an OEM stud in its place.

Here are a couple threads about that:

Yeah lucky the old stud wasn't harmed.

They aren't very expensive rims the tires cost more honestly lol
