Having just read of an owner having all 8 wheels nicked from to BMW's on his driveway, I'm a little concerned for my wheels!
Have googled for best alternatives (locking nuts), but curiously all recommended links are out of stock (UK)!

Anyone on here recommend good locking wheel nuts, with a link to somewhere that actually has stock?

Thanks...

The BMW OEM locking nuts are made by McGard - you can buy directly from them if necessary.

Just in keep in mind that with most locking wheel nuts, the nut is forged, the key isn't. I broke my existing key trying to get one of my wheels off, had to order a replacement, which immediately broke as well.

A garage in the end had to use one of these to get the damn thing off - http://www.dynomec.co.uk/locking-wheelnut-remover....
