Lockable Lug nuts for Brabus Wheels
I have been driving my car for some months now without wheels locks. I have Brabus Monoblock V 2pc 19inch but the locks that I got are to long and touch the calipers when the wheels roll. None of my local Benz dealers or tyre dealers have the right length ones. I tried Brabus themselves but I don't remember what the story was. Does anyone have any ideas on where to get these.

Idea: Compare the locks closely with your regular lug nuts. If everything is identical except for the length, then carefully machine a few milimeters off of the end of the locks to solve your clearance problem.

Tip: If you machine some length off of your locks make sure that you put a nut on the bolt befor you cut it. This way you can take the nut off after it has been cut. By doing this you will clean the threads removing any burs. This is a good tip incase something goes wrong.
