Wheel locks for HRE wheels

I just bought a 2001 996 with 19" HRE wheels. They did not come with wheel locks, can anyone recommend a good place to pick up wheel locks?

Your first post- Welcome to the 6 and congrats on your purchase!

No one is going to help out until you post some pics!!! (J/K)

Did your wheels require different length bolts? If not, maybe you can pick up a set of OEM locks from one of the dealership site sponsors.

Welcome aboard

Welcome aboard! Great place to visit daily (PDS ).

OEM locks are probably your best bet.

Or checkout suncoast or GMG:

Probably want to see if you have spacers just to make sure on fitment. I am assuming you don't. (Based on tire size)

had problems using oem locks on my iforged wheels since locks have to fit over the lock and is too fat for the lug holes. I ended up going with Gorilla locks.
