I have a Mini 30 with the standard minilite-style alloys.

I have a real problem removing the wheels, as none of my sockets seem to fit properly.

The wheelnuts are very odd in that they have a very thin shiny metal hexagonal outer "cover" over a solid nut. Are you meant to remove the "cover" before un/tightening the nuts? They are a bugger to remove, so it appears that they should stay on, but then no sockets fit properly.
