I find it funny that the wheel locks are not affected. Are they using some new variable mass wheel locks? That's even if you could call the new wheel bolts for "anti-theft protection" in the first place.

So if the existing wheel bolt for anti theft is 16.5mm long and you replace all but that one with the new 14mm ones, does the note at the bottom of the article still apply or does this article really apply to all the complaints you read about that are wheel balance related - ie is this to fix a wheel balance issue or really reduction in unsprung weight.....
