Locking lug bolts

Hi all. Who here is using an extended length locking lug bolts and where did you purchase yours? Looking for a 40mm set to go with some 12mm wheel spacers.

I really like Otis Inc. I've ran a few sets of their RAD bolts and really like them. The Farad line is pretty snazzy too

Not extended, but I run the Farad lug bolts (FGB-C17F28-B). They are German made (so I was told) and seem extremely difficult to defeat.

One thing I want to mention, the key has sharp edges for the locking pattern and it is short. As a result, it is fairly easy to have it half way stick on the lug and off your socket which can lead to it falling and scratching your wheel. I have almost been tempted to tape it to a separate socket....I may actually do that.

I am careful but would not trust a shop not to accidentally drop it on my wheel in the above scenario. When I know they will be working on my wheels, I put back the OEM lugs.

Project Kics 14x1.25 60 Deg Leggdura Shell Type Bolt & Lock Set

16 wheel bolts and 4 locks

they come in 28mm,35 ,40 and I think 45.



FYI. most places in the states says its discountined, but its not, found a supplier in Japan direct and its less than the $335 advertised. downside is its took 2 weeks to get in.
