Anti Theft Lugs?

Did any of the S5s have the option of an anti-theft lug nut?

If you do not have this available can shops get around the anti-theft lug.

Yes... my 1990 GXL had them stock. Do you want to buy mine? PM me! They're not perfect, but will work.

I don't use mine... as it's too much trouble, and nobody's gonna steal my rims anyway.

Buy something decent. Stock locks suck! Check out TOAD AUTO LOCKS.

I dont have them anymore but they look pretty much like any other wheel lock with the lock design engraved in the lug. I believe the company Mazda got them from was McGuard. You could always get a brand new set of all the lug nuts for about 40-60 bucks depending on the brand and where you get it.

Does anyone know the dimensions of the wheels studs on FCs?
I know some wheel locks at parts stores list sizes.

The shop that is installing my new tires said they have something but it will destroy the anti theft lugs.

Still no pics?

This is why Toad Auto locks are better. They wont thread off like Lugs. Check them out.

I ended up buying one of those sockets that you see on TV. It has all those pins in there. It conforms up to a 19MM bolt.

Worked like a charm!
