Default What do you guys recommend for wheel locks?

I would prefer to have a wheel lock on my new wheels then none at all. I have a 1998 A4 Quattro.

Default I got ebay ones and stripped them the first time I put them in. Now I have these and they're great.

2nd! They make them conical, they're long enough and they're solid.

Default RAD Locks.

Cold forged in Germany. Makers of bolts for BBS, OZ, Ronal, Neuspeed, MIM, and countless other wheel manufacturers, and vendors.

Default Make sure the wheel locks match the seat on the new wheels.

If your new wheels are designed to be used with OEM lug bolts, the RAD wheel locks are a suitable replacement. If the new wheels came with different lug bolts, you better do a little checking on locks with the appropriate length and seat.

Default BTW, if your new wheels use OEM lug bolts, let me know...

I have a set of OEM locks that I don't need. You pay shipping, they are yours. Previously donated by a fellow AWer, so I'll gladly re-donate them.
