I have used locks like these in the past (all the way back to my '74 2002= ),
and they have been nothing but corrosion-collecting trouble.

I just received four wheel locks from Bavarian Autosport for my E36 M3. They use a lug "wrench" that mates to the heads on the lug bolts (similar=

in concept to the McGard wheel locks--but a different shape, with four nonmoving locating pins). What makes them unique is a screw-on 17mm "cap"=

that looks just like the stock lugs. The caps come in either black or chrome, and the wrench and lugs themselves are very nicely machined from high-strength stainless steel.

If you want to have your wheels locked--but stock-appearing--you might wa= nt
to consider these at $39.95/set (catalog price). Bavarian Autosport's pho= ne
is 800-535-2002; the web site is http://www.bavauto.com/.

P.S. I have no connection to Bavarian Motorsport other than as a new customer; YMMV! =
