McGard 27216 Wheel Lock Set
The McGard 27216 is a chrome-finished wheel lock set designed for vehicles that use M12 x 1.25 thread size lug bolts with a cone seat. It provides a one-piece security solution that replaces a standard lug bolt on each wheel, requiring a unique key tool for installation and removal to deter theft.
Replaces Standard Lug Bolts
This set upgrades factory or aftermarket lug bolts by adding a keyed security pattern to each wheel. The jump is worth it when a vehicle owner wants theft deterrence for alloy or premium wheels without changing the existing thread specification or seat type. Each lock installs in place of a regular bolt using the included 17 mm hex key.
Suits Vehicles with M12 x 1.25 Bolts
The set suits owners of vehicles confirmed to use M12 x 1.25 cone-seat lug bolts who want a visible, keyed deterrent. Buyers whose wheels require a different thread pitch, a ball seat, or a spline-drive pattern should look at a compatible alternative. Vehicles using lug nuts instead of bolts also need a different product.

Questions about this item
Will the M12 x 1.25 thread size fit my vehicle's wheel studs?
The set uses M12 x 1.25 threads, a common size for many European and Asian vehicles. Verify your owner's manual or existing lug bolts to confirm the exact pitch and diameter match before purchasing.
What tool is needed to install the 17 mm hex locks, and what mistake should I avoid?
A 17 mm socket fits the hex head. The common error is using an impact gun; hand-tighten each lock with the supplied key, then torque to the vehicle manufacturer's specification in a star pattern to prevent warping.
How do I maintain the chrome finish and the unique key pattern over time?
Clean the chrome with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh acidic wheel cleaners that can damage the nickel-chrome layers. Store the coded key in the glovebox; if lost, the pattern number allows McGard to cut a replacement.
