    wheel locks and stud conversions

    Was wondering where to purchase a set of the wheel lug locks to deter thieves from stealing wheels. I've seen heaps in the bolts but not any lugs that we need. Which leads me to my next question, has anyone done a stud conversion? is it worth it and is it safe? Figured it'd make changing wheels easier and have a bit more thread when using spacers etc instead of buying extended bolts every time.

    Thanks

    Was just wanting to know the best place to buy bolts and locking bolts really. Don't have anything in particular that I'm after yet. Wanting to know what people recommend and they're experiences. I'm aware that when I get aftermarket wheels I'm going to need cone seat instead of ball and stuff like that.
