Since 1964 they have been protecting the world's finest wheels and tires from thieves. The wheel locks from McGard are manufactured in the U.S.A. and they not only meet but they exceed the O.E.M. standards on safety and durability. McGard is a supplier of original equipment for over 30 car lines all over the world. They come in one piece and are easy to use and they function just like regular lug nuts but they do require a special key tool for the removal and also for the installation. The user friendly key has a steel collar that guides the key into the lock pattern. It then holds the key in alignment for easy removal and installation. The key designs are generated by a computer and therefore there is infinite number of key patterns. It has an extra narrow pattern groove on the lock that resists the intrusion of removal tools into the pattern. Each of the wheel locks are fully machined from steel that is hardened to offer high level of security. The plating process has three layers of nickel and one of microporous chrome that give it a superior finish and protects it from rust. It is to be used with tuner wheels or wheels that have a very small lug nut holes. The materials to make it are sourced from all over the world.
