Rimstock Alloy Wheel Centre cap removal socket
I desperately need a socket to remove the centre caps on some Rimstock alloys , these are 1994 vintage wheels and the centre cap is held on by a
locating stud that has three small round holes in .
To remove this stud there should be a key { like a big radiator bleed key } with three pegs that locate in the stud and allow you to turn the stud
out.
Has anyone got one or know where I can get one.
Thanks
Desperate Dave

My Westfield wheels used similar, but I no longer have the car (or key).

Not familiar with the wheels or pin.
I bought a Peugeot 205 GTI which had similar style security wheel bolts, but no key. I ended up sacrificing the bolts and MIG welding cut down M12
bolts to them to get them undone. I then replaced all the bolts with proper Peugeot 205 GTI wheel bolts. Not a great deal of effort of cost and it
got the job done. I wanted the non standard alloy wheels off the car anyway and sold them on once removed.
ETA...thought I had some photos of doing it on here, but it appears not. In any case protect the area around wherever you may weld.
