I was told that I need a certain dimension/spec wheel lock that will work with my new 15" Konig Rewinds. OPAK guy on long island (great service and friendly people) said that some wheel locks people use are dangerous. Said that some use a 4 turn thread and top piece, some dont turn down all the way, etc.

can I use Mini's wheel locks or do I have to go specific? I have the 40 offset standard konig rewinds.

Thanx!

 

why not just use the factory one?

 

there are many depths of bolts and my wheels are completely aftermarket, as well as mini doesnt provide wheel locks from factory, it is an option.

 

I converted my wheels to use studs & lug nuts. I seem to change my wheels a lot & hated those darned bolts. I bought a set of spline drive lug nuts from Goodwin racing to go with the studs that I bought from OutMotoring. I also have the spline drives on my Miata & they're great. Very theft resistant.

If the stock lug bolts work with the Rewinds then the Mcguard locks should work too.

 

I use factory bolts & locks on mine. The factory lugwrench works with them, too.

 

im running factory lugs and was running the factory locks on my SSR
Comps that are also "completely aftermarket."

umm... i stated factory locks meaning MINI OE locks.

 

I also used the OEM lug bolts on my aftermarket wheels.... ASA JH6 wheels. They worked fine, before I converted to studs.

 

thanx guys I JUST got free bolts from OPAK tire guy on Long Island. nice and shiny.

 

Free is good.....

 

...and shiny is good too!

 

free and shiney, yes two beautiful words!

Now let's hope they are proper! wouldnt want to die. :(
