Locking Lug Nuts

[88SuperETABD]

Looking for some locking lug nuts.
1. My lugs are rusted to hell
2. Someone could easily take my wheels.
3. I know you can still get off a locked lug nut but its alot harder.
4. I have spacers. 10-15mm not sure which.


Will oem lugs work? or do i need longer ones? also, where can i get these...what should i buy? dimensions...etc.

I know that most dealers have the locking Stud-type for $65 or so and can figure out what length you need with the spacers and E-bay is kind-of a wash now-a-days as for the OEM style they may work, my buddy with a cabrio had spacers and the stock studs off my 89 325is worked well... Don't know if that helps but good luck! And Clean E30!

how come you think someone would take your wheels?

depends on the wheels offset (hub thickness) and the spacer size. for instance with my et40 RKs and 17mm spacers I cant run my OEM locks

Someone else posted here on r3v from san jose...someone left his shit on bricks. I dont wanna be that guy. + mine are all ugly/rusted.

my wheels are 16x7 bbs rx's et25 with 10-15 mm spacers, havent measured. Guess i should do that and update.

Strip the shit out of the heads of the wheelbolts, then someone definitely won't be able to steal your wheels.

people can buy the tool for locks just like you can. The best option is the bmw oem lock witch slides over the bolt and has a unique key with it


As far as actual lugs, contact Ary @ EuroStop. He has all sizes for 2 bucks a pop

I rock these, don't think I'm about to lose my wheels any time soon.

Less likely than a 17mm.
