Paging Randy 2.7T...
Randy, I saw a post from you a while back where you indicated that you had a problem with your Audi OEM BBS RC wheels as the center caps were over tightened. Now, I don't have this problem. However, my question is that in your post, you indicate that someone told you the aftermarket BBS RC centercaps have detents that click to let you know that the wheel is not overtightened. I have the aftermarket BBS wheels and mine just screw on like any other BBS wheels. Never heard of the center caps that "click". Have you heard this from anyone else who purchased the wheels? Just curious.

Ted K, just went out to garage..BBS still in boxes, the "wrench" is a box which holds stock lugs +
Key for locking lug, I put cap on by hand,
no click, used "wrench" no click,
took off, looked over, fingered,fiddled, etc,
no sign of anything like a "compensator" as used
on our gas caps etc.

Exactly. As for what goes inside this case / wrench; nothing. My key for my Gorilla locks is way
bigger in diameter than what will fit in this case. Also, I didn't even try to put 20 stock OEM lug bolts in there. What do I want them in the car for if the wheels are not on. I did put 5 of them in with my tools in the trunk to use on the spare if necessary, and the other 15, along with the 5 locks for my OEM Avus wheels are in the house in a bag until winter when I'll switch them.
Mine like yours doesn't click or have any kind of tension regulator like Randy was discussing. Not sure where he heard of this, but no body that I've spoken to with BBS wheels has ever mentioned this.
