im not sure if you can find lock lugs, you may have to get studs and lock nuts.

Look for ones for Volkswagens, they use the same lugbolts as our cars do.

Everything watercooled before '98, 98-05 (MK4) might use them, but I can't be sure.

Go to www.cbperformance.com and look for their gorilla stud kit. All the air-cooled cars had lug bolts like us rather than studs and nuts. You can't use locking lugs until you get lug nuts first.
