What are these ones? They seem to have a lock and a magnetic cap or some sort to cover the bolt itself.

It's these guys:
These are only available in cone seat for the aftermarket wheels. Won't work with OEM wheels. That's the reason we have stocked up on the previous set I have posted.

Sorry to hear they were stolen. Can't believe they have the ***** to do it on the driveway and unbelievable that they went into someone's garage. I'd shoot the phuckers that come into my garage, but then again, I might hit one of my cars.

Wow...sorry to hear that. Here in Finland it is quite common. People come from Estonia with a ferry, do a couple of hits and take the ferry home and sell it somewhere...same happens with cars. i'm a bit worried frankly..

The regular thread length is 28mm. U have 1 set of locks with 38mm thread length for those who run spacers.
My apologies to the original poster. I am not trying to thread-jack; however, I do feel that my answers may be beneficial to those who are looking to avoid an unfortunate situation like yours.

sorry to hear about the wheels -
I grew up in England and petty theft like this used to happen on a daily basis. really made me bitter.
On the bright side - -you get to go Wheel shopping

The first place I would look for the rims / culprits, is wherever you bought those new Michelin PSS's a couple weeks ago. They already had your address and knew that you had new rubber just put on. Probably some kid working in the shop. Just a thought.

Wow... Geez I thought getting my jacket stolen at a Pub on the weekend was bad...
Wish you lived over in Aus, I am just about to put a nice set of original 19inch AMG on the market, for a good price. Would love it to go to someone who needs it...

if that was my garage they came into, I would have a allot to clean up as that would be the last car they would see.
