Locking wheel bolts
Got 8.5 ACS's on the rear with 20mm spacers. The standard BMW locking bolt thread is approx 25mm and that is the only length thread they do. I need a pair of 45mm thread locking bolts, can anyone recommend a manufacturer for that length thread? (M12 1.5) Thanks http://i1360.photobucket.com/albums/r6...
