Wheels Locks
Does anyone have a part number for the OEM M5 wheels locks? Also does anyone have better after market options for wheels locks?
Yes, I know they will steal them if they want them badly enough, but anything to slow them down will give me peace of mind.

As an obvious cautionary tale, I will never have wheel locks on a car again. A tire monkey didn't seat the lock properly on my X5 and destroyed the wheel lock with an impact wrench during removal. It took three shops until I was able to get someone to remove it.
I'll take my chances with someone stealing my tires/rims and rely on my insurance to cover it from now on. |

If you properly torque your lugs it shouldnt be a problem, and if the dealer messes it up thats on them. I guess an idiot at a shop can always mess it up, but I go to a wheel/tire shop Ive used for quite a long time and trust.
