RE: loctite

Aren't they held in place using lock nuts? If so then loctite is not necessary unless it makes you feel better. Use the blue or the red will make you cry when it is time to change the tire!

RE: loctite

Oh,sorry!I guess i would at least use some blue.
The dealer installed my SE's with red,it was a bitch removing them.I have used blue since then without the bolts falling off.
