7 Reasons why McGard wheel locks are better at protecting your Tesla wheels and tires from being stolen
I have made a summary of 7 Reasons why I believe McGard wheel locks are better at protecting your expensive forged Tesla wheels and Pirelli tires from being stolen.
- Unique Patterns: McGard offers an “unlimited” number of computer-generated key patterns with an extra narrow groove to resist removal tools, providing higher security compared to Tesla’s locks, which also use unique patterns but may have fewer variations.
- McGard locks are fully machined from restricted chemistry steel and through-hardened, ensuring durability and resistance to tampering, unlike case-hardened alternatives.
- Multiple Hex Sizes: McGard provides eight different key hex sizes to match a vehicle’s factory lug wrench, enhancing convenience during roadside changes.
- Proven OEM Supplier: McGard is an original equipment supplier to over 30 automakers worldwide. Choosing McGard directly may offer the same or better quality without the OEM markup.
- Durability and Finish: McGard’s locks feature triple-nickel chrome plating with microporous chrome or black PVD, designed to resist rust, chipping, and peeling, ensuring long-term aesthetics and functionality.
- Cost-Effectiveness: McGard locks are often available at a lower price than Tesla’s OEM locks. This makes them a cost-effective alternative without sacrificing quality.
- Customization and Variety: McGard offers a range of fitments, finishes and styles with a rotating ring for added security, plus options for custom laser-engraved logos, catering to specific aesthetic or security needs.
