18” RS4 replicas – VMR 708’s Wheel Lock Nuts
Re-posted from B7 Forum after no reply to date.

I recently purchased the 18” VMR 708’s replacing my 17” OEM 5 double-spoke wheels. The dealer was not able to use the lock nuts from the 17’s saying the socket would not fit into the recess of the 18’s. Of course they offered to sell me a new set of different styled lock nuts, but they were $136CDN excl. taxes
.
Could anyone with 18” 708’s let me know where they got ‘em and at what price? A link would be nice too
.
Much appreciated.

i just got my VMR V708 mounted today and they look great. unfortunately like you, the oem wheel lock key does not fit the hole of the wheel. so i had to buy new ones from the shop, all in for $40 CDN. could find cheaper online if you could wait
