Extended wheel locks when using spacers

Anyone have recommendations for extended bolt locks whe using spacers? I have 15mm on mine but can't seem to find many options for locks.

I'm also trying to get them in black since I have black rims.

Closest thing I can find is this:

You can get RAD M14x1.25 wheel locks with up to 38 mm stem length. They only come in zinc finish but you can buy black (or chrome) covers for them if you want.

By the way, those wheel locks from Eurasia are junk.

Actually found these, which are a black/chrome combo - wondering if these are sufficient for my 15mm spacers...

Since stock ones were 28mm and I added 15mm spacers, I should be looking for 43mm bolts but these are 50mm, which are the closest I could find. Anyone know if I can get them in there?


BTW I was really hesitant on those Eurasia cover style ones.

McGard are in 28mm stem length only for M14x1.25.

I guess I didn't look hard enough; they do come in longer stem lengths.

Yes they do, but wondering if the 50.5mm is too long or not.

I read on another forum that the caps are plastic and can be melted off with a lighter. I don't know from personal experience...
