Default Wheel LOCKS

Anyone knows where to find BLACK wheel locks for the 2017 Grand Sport with performance package, black wheels.

Thank you
LCL

I did a McGards lug set on mine. Bought the set off Amazon for like $80 (I think that's what I remember).

BTW...you're probably going to get at least one person on here tell you that wheel locks are a waste of money, and that a competent thief can defeat them in half a New York millisecond. Probably/possibly true...I don't know. I simply wanted the black lug look and if it does nothing else it provides me with a bit of peace of mind.

Also, could be mistaken, but I think it's spelled wheel, not whhel. I'm in Munich, and 6 beers in now so forgive the bad joke.

I use these. I like them because all 20 lugs are "locks" not just one on each wheel.

Do not know if makes a different, but it has the performance package with ceramic brakes.

Thanks

I have a GS with the standard brake package so I'm not 100% sure.

Thanks

They don't cover it but you literally have to be on hands and knees to see it. Search my user name and you'll find my install thread with pics. I have the satin black wheels, and while the color is not an exact match to the finish on the bolts, it's not really noticeable.

Found my pics...
