Indeed, there are color options with the wheel locks and lug nuts. I've got an extra set of McGard wheel locks (polished) if you're interested. If someone really wants your wheels they'll be able to take them. Wheels locks are just a deterrent.

PM me if you're interested.

We have had success with the RAD Wheel Locks and H&R Spacers on the E60. The H&R TRACK+ spacers are made from forged alloy and will not run into cracking or vibration issues that you can get with cast spacers.

You can get a set of wheel locks from your local BMW dealer for $25.
