You must use heavy duty sockets not chrome as chrome one's can shatter.

@MotorScotti Год назад

I've never had any issues with he chrome ones as far as the material is concerned. The only downside is the star shaped pattern; 12 sides instead of the 6 sides of the new set I've bought since. I wasn't able to apply as much force to a stuck nut with the 12 side socket compared to the 6 side because they would have a tendency to jump and round of the nut.

First off, do yourself a favor, switch those steelwheels to aluminium. those kinds are a bit to heavy for the engine. I have an 2004 1.6 L35 105HK/150Nm wagon liited edition. I tell you, you'll feel it right away when changing those wheels for winter aluminium. Had those same steelrims, and I could also see a better fuel economy.

It's just a reliable car to get us from A to B. I'm not investing any money just to change the wheels. What really matters is the tires, which I'll have to look into next year.

@@MotorScotti well, I didn't buy new ones, I can't afford buying new ones.
