Broken wheel lock !! Anyone know which brand this is...

[fritzintn]

Recently my girlfriend picked up a '95 //M3 with AC Schnitzer TypeII rims.

Friday she got a flat and was unable to get the tire off. The tire place broke the key for the wheel locks and now we're SOL.

All this on the day before a 2day autocross event :(

A guy on a local racing forum offered to remove them with his snap on reverse threaded sockets and some other wheel lock removal tools he had. This worked thankfully for the front tires. But the back ones (where the flat is) shattered two of his snap on sockets and the other tools couldnt spin the lock.

Heres some pics:

Anyways, does anyone have any idea what brand these locks are so we can get a key, or any other creative ways to remove the lock?

Time to break out the air chisel....

This is precisely why I never run wheel locks. If someone wants to steal my wheels, let em, I have insurance.

I'd rather have that happen then be on the side of the road at night, in the rain/snow trying to fix a flat and have one of those POS' break on me...

Sometimes an oversized socket, hammered onto the lock (interference fit) can remove the wheel lock.

I think they are bavarian autosport locks. www.bavauto.com
