    Best slim locking wheel bolts?

    Hi all, I was just about to fit a set of Quantum 44 S4 alloys to the Audi B8 S4,but have found that the locking wheel bolt is to large for the bolt hole in the wheel! I obviously don't want to run without a locking bolt,so what do people recommend? On ebay I have seen sets £8 to £50,budget is somewhere in the middle
    Thanks for any advice.Paul

    You only need two tools in life - wd-40 and duct tape. If it doesn't move and should, use the wd-40. If it shouldn't move and does, use the duct tape.

    And if you can't fix it with a hammer,you've got an electrical problem!

    Indeed, M14x1.5 Locking bolts aren't too tricky, but do you have OE wheels or aftermarket copies / replicas?

    They are aftermarket wheels! Quantum 44 s4's.
