At lot of alloy wheels have one locking nut - check that the correct
locking nut adaptor has been supplied!

One of the first things you should check on a car new to you is to see
if you can loosen the wheel nuts with the supplied brace. Some are so
short that you cannot get much leverage

I always carry a telescopic wheel brace

Another thing worth checking if you carry a car first aid kit is that it
actually has things you may want to use. Mine had enough supplies for a
minor operation but was very short of plasters of the correct size when
I badly cut a finger.
