Can somebody confirm for me?

thanks

 

Dude, those are the lock key if you have those particular type! I dont know how you could tell whats what by even looking at those kind of lugs. I would get a wheel shop to remove em and got back to the regulars. GL!

 

those are mcguard wheel locks which is the type the dealership use. i've broken many of those so im not too confident on its ability to lock the wheels. wheel locks are more of a deterrent and not a prevention.

 

its McGard (not McGuard)...

anyway - you've broken many?... I have their spline drive and locks and have had the wheels off boatloads of times, they've held up perfectly. I highly recommended them. How did you break them?

 

guys i dont really care about locking my wheel. Im just saying I'm that I'm trying to get the wheel on my current car off to switch with winter setup.. and it doesn't have any wheel lock and i'm trying to get the key. Are these look like OEM and i can just buy them and use the key to open the wheel.. or do i have to got o the dealership?

Dealership here in Hartford, CT has a really crapp rep so I'm trying to avoid dealing with them..

 

contact McGard and see what they say... I know if you bought new there is info for spare key from McGard (look through the paperwork the seller gave you)... typically I think dealers have master keys so they could probably get them off - or you can have them cut off (I would try to use a key though).

 

getting those off without they key sucks. I would have the dealer do it ...

 

My G came with locking lugs but no key. I went to the dealer and asked if they could confirm they were OEM. They did. When I asked about buying a key, they told me they only sold the key with the sets. I would have to buy the set to get the key. (can't you get it for like $35 online?)

They also gave me another option. I guess they have non-locking lug nuts in the shop from where they install the lockers. They took off the locking ones (since they have a key) and put on the spares they had in the shop. They didn't even charge me. I didn't really care if I had locking lugs either so that was a good solution for me.

Might be worth stopping by and asking them.

 

Here's my secret in removing wheel locks....Please don't tell anyone Go thru a 1/2" drive socket set and find one that won't quite go on. Take a hammer and drive it on, now take your 1/2" ratchet and remove the lock. This worked on a set where I couldn't find a key anywhere, tried every tire shop and dealership in town.

Most I have seen split fairly easy especially if you remove the crown.
