Could be gorilla lug bolt locks?

Buy a cheap extension, remove the chrome finish from the bolt and extension, then weld the extension to the bolt. Or get a really good drill bit and drill out the center of the head. Should weaken enough to break off the head. Remove the wheel and take whats left off with vise grips. They do sell a wheel bolt removal tool for $17 at oreillys.

When 90% of your months income goes to bills and living cost , you gotta play it cheap to get anything good. Trust if I didnt have to spend my money I wouldnt be in a e30 :)

Lmfao, c'mon Ben give me a break.

Anyone have bad experiences with Fedex? All my small packages look like they've been raped & pillaged

Me, shitty shipping to canada. Sent a vintage amp that weighed 70lbs and had fedex box it. Shit was broke when it got to the buyer.

When I worked at DHL/UPS/FEDEX/ABX, we would purposely beat the crap out of packages that said "fragile" on them., it was great football tosses and soccer kicks practice.

What day

Not sure yet. Going this Saturday to see how it is. I believe the meet is every Saturday. I'm going to be focusing on blowing it up once a month for starters.

what's it look like? i've been collecting wheel lock keys

[ak-]

kinda new here. thought i'd introduce myself in this thread.

Tanner from Corona, CA.

Currently building an '89 325i for track use. slowly chipping away at it.

I've been building Honda track cars for a little over ten years. This is my first BMW build.

I like to frequent GMR. never at night, only in the morning or at dusk (i'd rather not hit a fellow cyclist)

anyway, heres a quick shot from Saturday evening on my way back down to civilization.

Hope to see you up there, or at buttonwillow soon.

WHAT'S UP.

Friend and I go to GMR here and there during those same hours. I hate night time.

Welcome and stuff.

Yes FedEx is terrible and they will NEVER honor insurance claims.

I'm all USPS Priority or UPS Ground these days.

on the money, if it doesn't ship usps, then i usually don't ship. even with business accounts at ups and fedex.

Good Morning,

Fedex sucks, they broke my Evo Wing for the M3. It made it all the way from Germany without damage and on the trip from NJ to CA it got destroyed. It was in original BMW foam packaging inside heavy duty cardboard box so that was not the issue. They paid out $1350 to Levent who reimbursed me but it took forever.

We have driven an old socket on lug locks but there was only one per wheel. With all of them being locks you would go through a lot of sockets so it would be best to take it to a tire shop that has an assortment of locks. Our local tire shop has a box of old lug locks that they use for this type of problem.

Cheers,

Jim
