Yesterday I thought I better go and check that my wheel nuts were still tight after 6 months of driving
But I was suprised to find that only my drivers side wheels had locking nuts on and the passengers were normal nuts. Is this just a mistake on my car or is it the same on everyones?

Must be a mistake mate, even my Foci has them on all 4 wheels. I think they are fitted at the dealer, so def worth checking with them.

I've just double checked and they definitely should have them on each wheel. Mine certainly does, not sure whos to blame for yours not being right, but you should get in touch with the dealer about it.

Very odd indeed. You definitely need one locking nut on each wheel. The passenger side wheels arent any less desireable than the ones on the other side. When i changed my alloys, i bought some new aftermarket locking nuts anyway, to reduce the odds even further

Yep, having had to buy a new set recently, def only packs of 4. Well these are the McGard's not sure about any other brand. Even Ford only offered them as a set of 4

When i bought my ST i found that i have actually got two sets of locking wheel nuts on my car so two different nuts on each wheel. Bit strange i thought.

Well at least you know they're twice as secure, just make sure you don't lose one of the keys!!
