Personally. I wouldn't bother, but my car is kept secure, if it was an issue though, I would go for either genuine VW items, or some nice BBS items, and Justmatz probably sell them

Hi mate

Picked a really good secure set up from TPS for just under £30 if that's any help

I've been looking for a set of proper BBS ones for ages... You can get loads of the M14 Audi sized ones but finding M12's is a pain...

Mind and get the correct type... there are 2, tapered or Radius.

Thought they were readily available :sad: have you tried Demon Tweeks?

I'll give em a try... Bought a set of the M14's and asked that seller (Proper BBS seller from another forum) if he had any M12's and he said the proper BBS ones are like rocking horse poo...

Why not contact BBS? They have a website and I'm sure it'll have contact details.
Just be sure to avoid McGard locking nuts as they are sh!te.

Im pretty sure that BBS don't do them anymore, so are more than likely looking for new old stock...
But yes worth trying BBS, If they haven't gone bust again this week :rolleyes:
