Wheel clamp
Hello,
I'm looking for a wheel clamp to ensure those light fingered blighters can't take away my pride and joy.
I've had a look around and can't seem to find any posts on this subject.
The wheels are standard 14 inch steels with wheel trims.
I've looked on fleabay but unsure if a standard 14 inch wheel clamp will fit.
Any ideas appreciated.

Re: Wheel clamp

Re: Wheel clamp
As good as these can be dont spend to much money on them, even the best arnt hard to get off, plus those who want your van will drag it on a low loader and clear off with the clamp attatched!

You are right if they really want it, they can put it on the back of a low loader. I don't think they would get my wheel clamp off unless they used an angle grinder and I hope I would hear that if i was in my house, with the van parked right outside it. It is about stopping or slowing down thieves, which along with my steering wheels lock and immobiliser, i hope it does.

Re: Wheel clamp
Sorry to drag this up, but is the 195/S the size needed for the standard wheels on the T25?
