posted this in the wheels and tire section already and not a single reply.

I have searched for them and can't find anything.

Does anyone know where i could find extended length, I am running 10mm front and 15mm rear spacers, wheel locks for the e30?

or what are you guys doing so your wheels don't get stolen?

Get 2 different sets of locks for your wheels, from the local auto parts store ;)

^^While that may be true I am just curious to see what people have done especially seeing how some members on here are running $1000+ set of wheels on their cars

i think the people running $1000+ sets of wheels dont drive them everyday

Keep your car parked in a well lit public area

I don't run wheel locks and my wheels are plenty expensive, locks only keep honest people honest, experienced thieves will be prepared to quickly remove wheel locks. I pay attention to where I park and don't leave my vehicle anywhere I can't monitor it overnight.

Pretty much useless against a determined thief.

True, but if you think that everyone is a determined thief for you $800 wheels then you will live in fear.

Just use any lock or double up like Iron-E said because most wouldnt take their time

Get studs and locking nuts, the thread pattern is 12x1.5, i think stock lugs are 40mm so add the thickness of your spacer and a little for good measure and that is the size stud you need.

You two are like the teacher that gives out really bad advice "The best way to avoid pregnancy is not to have sex in the first place!" Derp!

Wheel locks are easy to get off. Just keep your car in a well lit nice area and if you have to frequent bad parts of town take your nice wheels off yourself!
