Does anyone know a nice set of locks for the lug bolts I can purchase for the mini?
The OEM ones are black and I just got aftermarket wheels with a set of Chrome Lig bolts. They are a "locking" type but it looks like it wouldn't take much to get this design free from the car.
Thanks

Thats good, if a theif has decided they are comming off, no need to anger him by making it harder - I have seen it result in vandalisim and wheel damage!

I used locking lugs for a long time, til the locking part got stripped out. If a thief wants them they can steal them even with the locks. Just use the regular ones and make sure they are covered on insurance. Ever been on the side of the road trying to get a lock off?

No need to take off the wheel when im out and about because, I dont have a spare to put in place of it! just a bottle of runflat. I just want the wheels welded on there
