Default Wheel Locks?

I'm looking for a set of wheel locks for my new BBS CHs. From measuring the supplied bolts, it looks like I need a 14mmx1.5 bolt with a shank length of 28-30mm. I'd prefer a set like these:

over these:

if possible (but I think 1.25" would be too long and the 1.1" ones only come in 12mm).

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks.

Default Try RAD locks.

A search in this forum should bring something up.

Default I did contact Prestige Wheels...

who (according to messages here) is a US reseller for RAD, and the best they could do was a lock with a 32mm shank, which I believe would be too long.

Try Gorilla Locks, or McGuard.

Default Sorry, I didn't look closely enough at your photos. The top set are in fact Gorillas, and I have

them. I use them on my BBS wheels and McGuards on my Avus. Like the Gorilla better.

Default I didn't see a size listed that matched the supplied bolts for the BBS wheels.

Anyway, I went ahead and ordered a set of RAD wheel locks from Sander Performance. They should be here today.

Default Re: I did contact Prestige Wheels...

We can order the right shank length for you. You need to measure the length of your lug bolts (shank length) from the bottom of the cone to the tip of the bolt. Then call us (Prestige Wheel Acc.) @ 80-854-6770 to order. It takes about three weeks to get them, at a cost of approx $39.00 plus shipping.
