Need a reputable source for Wheel Locks- Yes I searched !

[e30vert]

Hey folks,

I am looking for a hard to remove set of wheel locks for my E30 vert. Not those standard cookie cutter looking pieces of crap that BBS make. I need some like the Bav Auto style or something that thieves will have a tough time with. Problem with the BAV Autos is that in the front I will be running a 5 mm spacer to accomodate the rims I am mounting and the Bav folks say that the wheel lock lug bolts are too short to work with the 5 mm spacers and safetly mount the rims. 5 mm does not seem like much , but it must be as they say they wont work. I could always buy a set and use 2 for the rears (as they wont have spacers) -

Whats my best option and who can I buy a real good set from > Any ideas?

I am in the same boat as you are. How about the factory wheel locks from an E36?

[e30vert]

Perhaps. Wonder if they will accomodate the longer wheel bolts in the front?

Hmmm...even those good ones are easy too remove. Been there done that.

So whats my best way to go?

I have some brand new gorilla locks that I never installed, they're good for 10mm spacers, take them to a machine shop and grind them down for 5mm spacers if needed, btw most wheel locks will just deter or slow down a would be thief, if they want your wheels bad enough, they'll get them.

I just picked up a set of the newer style no-key locks from my BMW parts source a few days ago. Good shit I tells ya.

And a stock lock with a 5mm spacer will hold just fine. Just don't run 4 bolts that are the stock length.

just put a different style/size for each one.... believe me.... if your wheels are that cool people will steal them... or the car

I have a set of bolts with locks on them. Let me know if you still want them I'll dig them up and take a pic.

Snap-on and Mac sell wheel lock remover tools.

I find rusted/rounded nuts that were hammered on with an impact gun harder to remove.

go ahead, use 4 different wheel locks, ur only wasting ur own time.

Thanks for all the replies. I ended up going with a set of Gorilla locks that are longer to accomodate the 5mm spacers in front. Worked real well!
