Alpina Locking Wheel Bolt Question.

[MerBrook]

I could do with a new set of locking/anti theft wheel bolts for No.169. After picking myself up off the floor and dusting myself down, I'm not sure I want to spend £385.00 (Rybrook Warwick's Quote) on them, nor could I get it past SWMBO even if Einstein was doing the man maths.
So I was wondering what other people do and what alternatives are there?

One alternative is to just lie to her and buy them anyway?

£385?!?! Jesus fkin H! do they come with a guy to lock and unlock them for you??

Wouldn't work as she looks after my accounts and the beating would't be worth it.

I wanted something a bit better than the OEM items so I replaced mine with McGuard Ultra locking nuts - I cleaned up the originals and have them tucked away in the garage

You can get a set of OEM BMW locking nuts for £20.00 delivered on eBay from a dealer.

I just got a set of four. They are black, come in a BMW box along with the locking nut code.

I got these as my original ones weren't as black as they could be. :roll:
