Spacers... which wheel locks to use?

So i installed the Macht Schnell wheel spacers from IND this weekend and I realized my OEM wheel locks won't work. What do you guys do to protect your wheels?

I had the wheels on my 2011 335is stolen before so i'm a bit more paranoid about it than most.

Haven't used this specific set before, though I've had nothing but good experiences with Project Kics

those appear to be the wrong thread pitch. we need 14x1.25

it looks like EAS sells RAD 14x1.25 locking bolts in a couple lengths, though only for up to a 12mm spacer.
