Locking Lug Nuts Help

tobefair-idontcare · 04-04-2020, 01:34 PM

Recently installed Apex's stud conversion kit on my 340i. They kit came with the appropriate lug nuts but no locking lugs. Looking to increase security just a bit with the new wheels coming in, however the unique size of the lugs are making it a pain to source. Does anyone have any idea where to find M14x1.25mm locking lug nuts? Any help would be appreciated.

Just be sure your lug nut ( stud) conversion is not very long

Unfortunately I don't think these are the right thread pitch. I think they're 14x1.5. Sucks cause these would have been perfect.

It look like the m14x1.25 not popular to those who make security lock nut.

I see conversion kit that's is m14x1.25(hub side) to m14x1.5(outside/wheel side).

Why don't you guys use the OEM BMW security nuts, provided you don't need the conversion to studs?
