Where can I find anti theft wheel bolts for my aftermarket wheels?

I got the factory locking bolts. You can find them online, but I was impatient so just picked them up at the dealership.

^^^keep in mind this was from a guy living in Jersey (where wheel locks just aren't enough... usually the whole car just comes up MIA) ..lol


i love this blurb from some guy's sig on AW....
If you live in NY/NJ/CT, you have two choices. 1) Sleep in your car, shotgun in hand. 2) Just leave the doors open with the keys in the ignition. Your car WILL be stolen. Half the forum will be very sympathetic when it happens, the other half will flame you for not hiring a team of Navy SEALs to protect your car while you sleep.
...lol.. so true

Damn, you guys have me nervous!
I just bought my a4 (98 , 2.8 stock). I want to do some upgrades, (lighting, wheels, suspension) but if it might pull a disappearing act on me well...
I was talking to a neigbor who has a yellow '00 S4 and he told me that his has been stolen 5 times!
I guess it's true what they say about Jersey. Dammit, I knew I should've bought a Saturn! (just kidding)

Best way to protect your audi is to mod the locking mechanism. If anyone wants to know how to do it (this is how most of the A4/S4's are being stolen), PM me - I am not going to explain how to steal an audi on audiforums.com... heh
