I've just spent two days cleaning the car and it's finally back to normal. We were very lucky not to receive a puncture because if we had, we would have been in trouble.
We put some fancy new aftermaket alloy wheels on it about 6 months ago and haven't needed to remove a wheel yet, but I took them all off to clean the car now.
It turns out you need a special slim socket to get into the nuts which was given to us by the tyre shop but we were not carrying. Also the shop torqued the nuts to 73 ugga duggas which I needed to use a 3 foot breaker bar to get undone.
If you ever get new wheels installed please PLEASE test you can remove them at home first!
