man, you're going to hurt yourself changing the tires... thing I don't like about some aftermarket locks is that they only come with 1 key..

Highly recommend the Rad wheel locks over a lot of the others, http://www.**********s.com/product.a...-e90-wheels001

McGrad wheel locks are also very good another recommendation to you

^^Are the Rad/Mcgard locks available with a black cap? both sites do not list any option.

McGrad has some for sure, they have a tons of options, you'll need to find one of their authorized resellers for that information.

Any reason why you recommend the Rads over the others? My only concern on them is if the finish will match well with the lugs.

RAD wheel locks are engineered and manufactured in Germany by a true wheel professional who has worked with some of Germanys largest vehicle manufacturing companies including OEM and aftermarket wheel manufacturers -- you know which ones. All wheel fasteners are made from high quality steel and are hardened and tempered to strength class 10.9 or 10 according to DIN/ISO standard 898. For added strength and durability, these wheel locks are unique in that they are made from one solid piece of metal unlike the competition where the keyed head of the bolt is adhered to the threaded part. Unique to the wheel lock industry, these bolts are coated to OEM spec with DACROMET, a dull silver coating which provides the highest level of corrosion resistance. As the exclusive importer of RAD wheel locks, Bimmian can ensure that the keys to these locks are kept in very limited supplies. Contrast this with products from the competition where tens of thousands of copies of each key are distributed throughout the country. How secure does that make you feel? With over 100 unique keys, and restricted quantities of these keys in circulation, you feel confident knowing that your rims are safe.
