Original locking wheel nuts from dealers? Cost?

[Zayyan]

Anyone know if you can get these and what they cost?

I've managed to bend the lock so all my wheels are locked onto the car

I don't really want to go the calling the AA/drilling them out option

[TOURINGDADDY]

If they r the steeler 1's they ave em on shelf about 5 big ones....

The original ones i have the key looks like a spline bit and cost me Ԛ£20.
If your key looks like a padlock key i don't think there bmw ones.

They're the original ones with the key that lives in the toolkit (well it seems to fit there anyway).......Ԛ£20

They are numbered though, presumably there's a few different ones.....will have to find out if anyone has the right key on a breaker or even if someone'll lend me one.....not paying the robbing b*stards 20 quid though!

Cheers for that Martin

The original locking nuts were the padlock key type where you remove a cap with the key to access the nut. These aren't made any more and it's a good job too. Whilst they look good and are a good idea in theory, the security of them is appauling.

If they're stuck on then drill them off. They have been superceded by a splined "typical" type locking nut set.

If you really want some of the OEM ones then you might be lucky if a dealer still has a set kicking around but I'd save your money and get some McGards, best out there!

[Zayyan]

Ah right cheers for that Adam, they are the spline type. I guess I'll just have to drill them off, there doesn't seem to be too many other options

Will look into getting the McGards once I've got these off, cheers for the tip

Zayyan,these were the ones i was on about,can be removed with a pair of mole grips !

[Zayyan]

That really is appalling security

Leaving the car doors open with the key in the ignition with a sign on the window saying "it's locked" would be more secure!

i have the spline type ones they are pretty good

[Martinaston]

That was Ԛ£20 for the set not just the key.
When i bought them the guy said there are only 20 different combinations.
If you can find a key thats not the matching one just bash it in with a mallet. Job done.
If you can't find a key try tightening the three normal bolts as much as you dare to take some of the pressure off the lock nut and just try a small nut/allen key or even a screwdriver to fit in.

These locks are shite, usually what happens is you cant even remove them when you go for a routine tyre change. dead embarassing! however if you gently tap the key with a heavy duty hammer it will engage the barrels and let you in, then throw 'em away & get some decent ones!

Nice idea, this might just work on my bent key
