I was wondering if anyone on the boards have used these project kics dual phase lug bolts? I plan on ordering them before I put my wheels on next month but I would like to get some feedback before placing my order. I've also been considering just ordering the H&R Studs so that I can have more of a variety of lug nuts to choose from. If anyone has switched to normal studs I would like your feedback also. Thanks in advance.

Never heard of them, but something tells me that unless you live in the desert, corrosion may be an issue with these.

Adjacently to salt water, living where salt/ chemicals for snow removal is ever used on the road or hight humidity areas is going to reek havoc on those I'd bet.

I'm curious if anyone else has used the dual phase locks. Bezzletine did these work out for you?

I'm also curious about these by Eurasia. (they don't look as secure but a hell of a lot cheaper)
BMW E61 535xi N54 3.0L Wheels Locks ES#260952 Wheel Lock Kit - Set Of Four - 11805

I'm in the market for some good wheel locks for my DPE wheels and would appreciate any feedback.


My research so far has turned up that the Dual Phase locks rust easily and the Eurasia locks could possibly be burned off.

Anyone has wheel locks care to share their feedback.

The stock lug bolt length is 27 mm, a lot of these locks like the dual phase ones are 35 mm. Will the hubs accept the extra length (if there isn't any spacer that would fill the space) ?
