In the future Im looking for re amemiya sideskirts and a rear diffuser. Yeah those tires are 205/55's I dont plan to run these wheels for ever, I have rpf1's on my mind so I can fit wider tires.

Mostly USA, some in the middle east. It's a full size american sedan made by Ford. And by full size I mean huge!!! We're talking 4000 pounds with a V8 and still slower then a riced out civic! If you have even see an episode of the TV show cops there is a good chance you have see the fleet version of this car.

Ah it's the 'typical American car' that uneducated people assume the whole of the USA drives around in and sits at drive through movies. I think they're kinda cool, however I won't be locating the wheels as these 'queen vics' wouldn't fit on European roads lol, thus are un-locateable.

Random babble over.

I can't think of any reason why this should stop you. Vice grips, Cut-off wheels, all kinds of tools you can use to get around this.

Get some liquid wrench soak them up today.. go back tomorrow with some cheap sockets and a hammer, lock the socket on the lock and it should back off. Your going to destroy the socket so get one per lock..

I'm assuming the 60 grit was to get rid of the machining lines on the lips...?

I used 60 to get rid of everything to get down to pure metal after I applied the aircraft stripper. What machining lines exactly are you talking about?
