Right today ive found out a good mate has passed away in a car accident then I go onto the motorway to pick my kids up for the weekend and my wheel comes off due to my wheel nuts being knackered!!! Can anyone recommend and good wheel nuts on the bay as gonna replace all of them? Plus anyone near Huddersfield refurb alloys? As I have one that needs doing before it goes back on the car. :cry:

Many thanks.

that often happen when people over torque wheel nuts or use impact gun (what most garages use this days)
