    Wheel Locks?

    Ok, so I am curious as to whoever on here running studs are using for wheel locks. Open ended is a given, as I am using Vorschlag 90mm, but I would love to have a set of locks as well seeing I don't want a second set of wheels stolen. Also, the wheel key would theoretically have to be deep drive to clear the length of the stud as well. Any suggestions?

    I ordered a set from kaliboy. Although you probably already know about his, I figured I'd mention it since they're a valid option. There used to be some JDM company all the Honda guys talked about... wish I could remember the name. They make their wheel locks custom to order and theyr keyed in a fashion that practically no one else will have a set like your's. Much like a deadbolt or door lock is cut, the degree of reliefs were determined by a number system. The only downside I see is whether or not they log your key code. If they don't, you're fucked if you lose that key. I'll see what I can find, it was all the craze when they first started.

      Actually I've never heard about kaliboy's set. Do you have a link to it?

        Def can't find the fuckers. Another option is RAD. They make custom open-end sets for under $50.

        Edit: Check his "stud conversion kit" thread in the parts for sale forum. They're like 30 bucks.

          I added a stud to each of my hubs so I could run a slim line lock nut which are much more common at your regular autoparts store.
