Wheel Lock for Wheel Stud Conversion
I've done a search through the forum and haven't found anything to answer my question. I've got all the parts needed to convert over to wheel studs, but I cannot locate wheel locks in the correct M14x1.25 size. Does anyone have any recommendations? I checked with ECS, where I got my spacers and the conversion kit, and they recommended VMR out of Miami, but they don't make any products to fit this size.
Thanks for the help.

There's open end lock like this but the lug seat is narrow and lug key seems fragile when applying 100 lbft of torque. There's not much choices 14x1.25 open end lug nuts out there |

But when I did on previous E39s; I ran a stud conversion and bought a set, like this, and drilled out the top cap opf the locking key so that the stud would pass through when using a deep socket https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/324374500...Bk9SR6CmoY7BYw Had zero issues torquing them down to c110NM But as said; I don't bother now. IMO it's not worth it
