Wheel locks for C63
Are you people using wheel locks with your aftermarket wheels for the C63? I've never seen a picture regarding what kind of wheels locks people might be using.

Been covered in depth already. McGard. It's what MB sells, but you can buy it cheaper by going direct to McGard, bypassing middleman markup.

thought about it - but chose not to
if pro is going to take them, theyre taking them
your OE wheels cost a pretty penny as it is so Id be fine making the claim for them if they got taken -
I park inside though

McGard wheel locks are wheel brand independant as they basically replace your oem bolts, as long as you order the right part number for the stock oem bolt you currently have. Your wheels should have been made to accept stock oem bolts.

yeah but he's right, depending on wheel the locks need to match either cone or ball seat and shank length is also a cencern because we use wheel bolts.
Best to take 1 bolt out of your existing wheel and measure, order the right stuff.
With that said, wheel locks are basically useless. If they want your wheels, they'll take them.
