Review of McGard 24130 Chrome Cone Seat Wheel Locks (1/2" - 20 Thread Size)

Customer Ratings:

McGard Wheel Locks for 1/2"-20 lugnuts (24130).

These McGard lugnuts are commonly used on Fords with a ½"-20 wheel stud, typically a 13/16" socket is used to remove/install the standard lugnuts and that is the same case for the McGard key. The McGard lugnuts have a shiny triple plated chrome surface that shines like a mirror and appears to be a very durable finish. The McGard key, however, does not appear to be as sturdy. The yield strength of the key pattern seems to be sub-par. I have already noticed some stress marks on parts of the key that "grip" the pattern on the lugnuts. Although the wheel locks may carry a lifetime warranty, I have my doubts the key will last as long. The installation was very straight-forward and they match the rest of the Ford alloy wheel lugnuts almost perfectly.

Pros: Slows down wheel thieves, is aesthetically pleasing (shiny), simple to install, and inexpensive.

Cons: The key seems to be the weakest link. If you lose the key and need to change the wheel, you will have to call a wheel shop or order a replacement key. Don't misplace the key or lose it! Many owners have complained that wheel locks only serve to interfere with the rightful owner of the wheels.

Overall: This is the most cost effective way to install the "OEM" wheel locks on a Ford. Ford wants 2-3 times the price of this kit at the dealership but it is the same product made by the same company.

I choose this rating because while the product looks very nice, it is poorly made. I say that because when you go to tread these locking wheel locks on the lug they are way to sloppy turning on and you can even move the lock from side to side turning it on all the way up until it seats on wheel. And this is unexceptable, the I.D (inside diameter) is to big to fit snugly while turning the lock on. Am disappointed in this set of locks. I would NOT recommend these Wheel Locks to anyone.

A replacement set as the garage hand tightened the original set (which subsequently fell off!). Lasts through the winters and always look good.
