Wheels Locks for Spacers - Interested?

I just bought two sets of RAD wheel lock bolts in 28mm and 42mm sizes to fit the front wheels (28mm) and rear wheels with 15mm spacers (42mm) of my 335xi.

If this makes sense to you and you have 15mm rear spacers on your E9x, you may want to buy the remaining 28mm and 42mm wheel lock bolts (two each) for your car. Both sets use the same lug key, so one key works for front and rear.

You can see the details on these wheel lock bolts here:

$50 shipped (CONUS).

Instead of playing around with finding longer wheel bolt locks, I just convered my hubs to run studs. This way I don't have to worry about getting the correct length bolts everytime I run a spacer. Also, takes out the hassle of finding wheel locks, since you can just use a standard nut lock, that can easily be found.

Makes changing/swapping wheels a hell of a lot easier too.

Interesting, but I don't see how this eliminates the need for different lengths F/R when using rear spacers (unless the thread sticks way out beyond the lug nut in front?). Maybe I'm missing something.
