Question Wheel lock fitment on Ruff Racing 278 rims

I've been looking for some wheel locks that come with a wrench that will clear the pin-sized hole on my ruff racing 278s. Anyone else out there with these rims and have the wheel lock sizes/brand that you used?

I have the same problem. The lug wrench wont fit without scratching the rim because the hole is too small

Hey do you guys have a problem with those rims not being hubcentric? I bought some Ruff rims for my BMW a while back and they caused some vibration.

What kind of lugs are you guys using?
Mcguard? I'm prepping to get the 19" black Ruff 280s, and I have tuner lugs and Mcguard lugs on my existing set of wheels. Not sweating the Tuner lugs, as the wrench "plugs in" to the lugs. The Mcguard tool however is the exterior kind.

The problem is not the lugs, but the factory lug wrench fitting too snugly in the hole which scrapes up the inside of the hole when you are getting to the lugs

I smelled what you were steppin in earlier...LOL.

My question was if you guys have McGuard locks, and if so does the McGuard lug wrench fit or scrape.

Thanks J
