Gorilla Wheel Lock warning (m)
This afternoon I tried installing a set of Gorilla locking lug bolts on my S4's Avus wheels. I tightened to spec. with a torque wrench. Commenced to back my car out of it's parking space and heard a grating sound. A quick analysis told me it was the lug bolts grinding against the wheel hub/axle/brake disc? (Whatever is on the opposite side of the lug bolts.) I proceeded to remove them all, noticing that one was slightly worn from friction on the end. Comparing it to the standard lug bolt they are noticeably longer. So I feel pretty stupid for not checking before install, I just figured that since it was the correct part for this car (48020N) that it would fit. Head's up to anyone out there who is thinking about installing these, or any other non-standard parts for that matter.
