Alloy wheel removal problems

[Dave_r5gt]

First post!

Having a nightmare trying to get my alloys off lol they are league alloys,dont know the model as they came on the car.
Ive seen them on quite a few fives so wondered if any 1 knows anyfing?
The problem is the bore of the hole that contains the bolt is so small my regular sockets dont fit,ive tried the halfords 17mm cheap sockets and ground it down,this fits in the hole,and gos over the bolt but doesnt feel quite like a 17mm??? The bolt is 8 sided by the way

The cars not road legal at the mo so cant take it anywer,any help wud b kl gt a pile of parts to fit just need the wheels off lol

Cheers
Dave

When i took these wheels off the owner had a socket that I believe came with the wheels..

there league 065's,i have those,they come with a special socket due to the spokes going right into the centre of the rim (makes the holes narrow).

you need this socket,so best thing to do is contact a local alloy wheel supplier an get one ordered up,there be folk online,an ace wheel supplier be my first call.

or contact last owner..
