Anyone have any reccomendations or suggestions as to which ones are the best and where to get them?

I've seen some ACS and BavAuto locks for 44.95 on bavauto.com.

I have OEM 18"s on my car.

They are still good insurance,especially if you have 2 sets of locks. Hamann and Alpina (not the tuner Alpina) locks are harder to bypass compared to the BMW ones.

Just an update on the wheel lock subject. I went down to a dealer today to get some locks and the parts people told me the following:

"BMW stopped selling wheel locks 6 months ago, the remaining inventory was given away with new car purchases. These locks were too easy to defeat and BMW is in development of a more secure solution."

Interesting...... I am not currently running the locks, they are sitting in my garage.

By BMW giving them away because they knew they didn't work, isn't that false advertisement?
