Wheel locks...

Where is the cheapest place I could get the Mcgard #28018 wheel locks?

What is the best wheel lock for our wheels? I have the amg 18"s.

Thanks.

I had placed a review of the product when I bought it last year. These ARE the ones you want:

And to think... The stupid Dealer quoted me $125 for a set of the MB ones that BTW... are MADE by McGard!

If a thief want your wheels, they will take them, there are special sockets to remove wheel locks and are available for anybody to purchased, that’s just my thinking

Don't know if W204 lugs are the same length/size as my W203 but I have a set of wheel locks. Only used for 3 days.

Let me know if you want some measurements

Be cautious on which McGards you buy. Tirerack sold me a set of four model 27181 with my winter tire and rim set, they worked fine - UNTIL this weekend when I put my stock wheels back on. With the stock rims the bolts are about 1/10" too long and made contact with something in behind the rotor. As soon as I moved the car 6 feet I heard a nasty clunking noise from all four wheels. The lug bolts were slightly damaged on 2 wheels and were a little difficult to unthread. However, it appears no permanent damage was done.
I notice the 28018's are slighly shorter so I'm assuming they would be okay, but as I said, be cautious.

Won't work due to bolt diameter change.

Just buy OEM, pay an extra few bucks, and you KNOW they'll work and fit perfectly. All you need is one damaged rotor and all your savings are moot. Yeah they're McGard but I have no idea what model # they'd be.

The OEM ones have a cool MB logo on the key too
