Note some hex sizes do not match OEM lug wrench. For use on tuner wheels or wheels with very small lug holes. For aluminum wheels only, not for use on steel wheels. McGard’s plating process includes several layers of nickel and one layer of microporous chrome producing a superior finish while protecting against rust. Every lock is through-hardened and tempered. Manufactured in the USA to meet or exceed OEM standards. Please note that wheel locks and lug bolts are application-specific products. You must confirm proper fitment for your vehicle by using the Amazon part finder or consulting our website. Please review important fitment notes provided. Also note the type of seating your lug bolts require they can be either radius, flat or cone seat this has to be done visually by the customer to insure a proper fit before purchase and install along with correct shank length and thread size that matches your current lug bolts. Due to the unique key patterns, the pattern shown in images will differ from the pattern on the locks you receive. If ordering multiple lock sets, the keys will not match. McGard keys will not match OEM locks installed by the factory or dealership.

Better finish and fit than OEM locks

I love the look of these wheel lock bolts and they tighten and screw on more securely than OEM MINI wheel locks that have warped a few times. Many Thanks.

Pros
  • An Absolute Legend
Cons
  • Quick Start Guide

Very good quality for wheel locks

I don't understand the negative reviews. This item is of much better quality than BMW factory locks and easy to install. I hated BMW locks that are easy to remove.

Pros
  • High quality construction
Cons
  • Discontinued model

Perfect for my 2018 BMW X5

Love these wheel locks! But more importantly, I trust them. In my opinion this should be standard equipment on all new cars but as it isn't they are worth the money for the security they offer.

Pros
  • Great for a small house
Cons
  • Volume

Comes new with damaged thread!

Just opened the box and was about to fit the first wheel lock on my bike when the hand wouldn't work then I checked the threads and wasn't expecting what I was seeing from these McGard locks. Pay attention to the terrible quality of the threads. I will go back and buy a different brand.

Pros
  • nice thing
Cons
  • quality

Quality Control Issue

Serious issue, install with torque wrench rated at 110-20 ft/lb. upon reaching torque the safety key has fallen out of the manufacturers socket, looks like the key was not pressed in properly, is splined like a cardan shaft and looks like an interference fit, which is obviously not the case. Now there is no way to loosen the nut! Who pays for 4 moves? McGard has always preferred security grommets.

Pros
  • Ease of Use
Cons
  • Generally OK, but...

Buyer caution please confirm.

Yes, it's a good price but I had trouble fitting it. Revain said it would fit my 2006 BMW x5 only to find it didn't fit all the way, not even half way. For example 3/4 and it's forced. This product was the correct thread size all the way around until you installed it. I checked the manual, everything is there, but it doesn't fit. Cannot be used. That is the reason for one star.

Pros
  • Comfortable
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks

Great product: tires and wheels

I used to use McGard products. excellent wheel locks. This particular article was bad. After installing the third, the rustling of the wheel locks disappeared. I didn't go to the seller for a refund because I couldn't get the wheel locks out without the correct pattern. I contacted McGard and they sent me another key but charged $14 for it. All the ways I've used the product before are great, but boneless this time.

Pros
  • Top marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Very expensive

Bad Product Best in Parts & Accessories

After manually tightening the four screws, I began tightening the first screw. The midsection fell out of the socket with little to no effort. I managed (after an hour with screwdrivers and a vise) to unscrew three screws. There's only one left and I can't remove it. Hopefully it falls out while driving. Worst fixatives I've ever used. I put two other sets on other cars, both are constructed differently, then it ran as it should. Why is this pressed into the socket? Went straight out. If it's…

Pros
  • Handsfree
Cons
  • Blank
