AC Schnitzer Wheel Locks
Abstract - Every once in a
while I read about someone's wheels getting stolen and the car being left on
cinder blocks. Wheel locks are very inexpensive compared to the cost of a new
wheel. Wheel locks are like one time insurance items.
Purchase - Clearance from
E46Fanatic.com store for $20.
Parts - A set of 5 wheel
locks and a key.
Installation
-
These wheel bolts are like any other ordinary bolts with the exception of the
different pattern on top. You insert the key that connects the bolt to a
standard hex nut.
Impressions - Wheel locks prevent theives from easily
stealing your wheels. Cleavar theives will bring all the popular wheel lock
keys incase you have them on your car. Wheel locks are not fool proof and are
really only meant to delay and discourage the thieves. Some people get
multiple different types of wheel locks to further protect their wheels.
In a few cases, wheel locks have actually caused more harm
than good. If you loose your key or don't have it on you when you get a flat,
you can not change your tire etc. Sometimes they get stuck and have to be
drilled out. This process might damage your wheels and wheel assembly.
Conclusions - Cheap insurance item. Get wheel locks if
you can be responsible enough to not loose the key.
