Locking Nuts Question *Help*

Hello,

I just got a set of TE37 for my F80, and I am planning on doing a stud conversion before putting them on.

I am going to use the Macht Schnell Competition Stud Conversion Kit with a 14x1.25 thread pitch and 90mm stud length.

I want to get locking nuts, and I was wondering what everyone else uses? I tried doing a bit of research and everyone seems to have different opinions on every option I've found. What is the best, safest, option to go with to feel the most secure and not have the wheels stolen.

Thank you in advance!

The "best, safest, most secure" way is to get 20 different locknuts or get air suspension and air-out the car every time you park. That's ridiculous though.

If you just want a good set of nuts that includes a lock nut, I recommend Project Kics Iconix R40. As a bonus, it comes with a lock nut and has the two-piece conical seats to prevent marring.

As most people know, lock nuts can be removed quite easily by any determine thief — I still use them anyways.
