Locking Wheel Bolt recommendation

Bit late to this thread but still...

I've had no less than three incidents over the years with broken locking wheel bolts, each time was a massive pain in the arse to sort out.

However I agree that with an expensive set of wheels it's nice to have a bit of peace of mind (real or imagined).

I bought a set of Evos. They seem pretty solid to me, as soon as I think they are showing wear I'll replace them to be on the safe side.

It's also good to be selective about who changes your tyres/brakes etc. Even without airguns you'll still find plenty of Muppets cranking the nuts on with a 3 foot long wrench :mad:
 
Hello @Pauly i am about to order some wheels and an spare wheel anti theft device from the forum shop. I have a 2018 kombi highline with devonports but it has a steel spare wheel. Are you saying that the longer bolt will still fit this or will i need the shorter one? Thanks very much
 
I seem to have lost the tool for the anti theft wheel bolts on my t6. What is the proper name for tool ,see if I can get one online.
Thanks

Locking wheel nut key :thumbsup:


Your dealer should have the correct key. There aren't endless keys, it's just a selection of 20 or so, if it's anything like BMW and the dealer should have a pack that has them all, with corresponding part numbers to order a new key from them.
 
Could any the forums members recommend a set of high quality wheel nuts please - and a set of similar locking nuts too.

Many thanks
 
I’ve got a full set of 20 genuine VW ones for sale including locking key. In very good condition.
 
You don't say what wheels you have and if there are spacers, but if they'd fit what you've got I'd use factory wheel bolts every time and McGard locking bolts
