    Locking Lug Bolts

    Can someone point me in the direction of a set of locking lug bolts. I'm going to need longer ones than stock but am not sure of the exact size right now. If you need the length for some reason i will figure it out tomorrow. Goodnight

    All that a locking lug bolt will do is slow down the person stealing your wheels. If you take the other three off you can get enough leverage to bend/break the locking bolt.

      They are not really worth the money.

        That is the idea.

        You can get the factory ones but those are not all that long. I would check the ricer shop. The local one here has like gorllia bolts or something like that in multiple lengths.

          i know the locking lug bolts don't do much, but Andy (tobybmw) walked out to his car while guys were trying to rip off these wheels. I would like to have something to slow them down. I know it won't help because if someone wants the wheels they can get them. These locking lugs will hopefully slow someone down, make them think twice, and give me some sort of comfort.

          So you guys say go to the local rice shop?

            Checkers, Schucks or Krager (same places different names), Autozone etc etc probably will have them as they house some ricer stuff. Dont know if you have this warehouse but "Baxters Auto Supply" probably would be your best bet.

            Goodluck

              I've got www.rpiequipped.com eurolocks. Go to the new site and look under wheels. People I've talked to say they have never seen these so it might buy you some time.

                  I'm thinking of getting those eurolocks, they seem like they would work well

                    If you can find McGard lugs in that longer size, try and get them. They are the brand BMW uses for locking lugs and from what my brother has told me (works for a major wheel company), they are the best quality.
