Wheel Lock Set M12 x 1.5

This McGard 27179 set secures alloy wheels with four chrome cone-seat lug bolts and a unique coded key. Each bolt uses an M12 x 1.5 thread and a 17 mm hex head for standard tool fitment. The one-piece design replaces a factory lug bolt and resists removal without the matching pattern. Buyers who need spline-drive or tuner-style locks should look elsewhere.

Installation Fitment

The 17 mm hex works with common wheel braces or impact sockets already in most tool kits. Cone-seat geometry centres the bolt on the wheel's tapered bore without separate washers. Thread pitch of 1.5 mm matches many European hubs, but always verify the vehicle specification before fitting. Vehicles requiring ball-seat or flat-seat lugs cannot use this kit.

Sustained Security

Triple-nickel plating under a microporous chrome layer resists road salt and brake dust through repeated thermal cycles. The computer-generated key pattern remains engaged after thousands of tightening events without rounding. Internal key splines transmit torque evenly to prevent bolt stretch over time. Sets without a coded key offer no comparable deterrent.

Questions about this item

How much torque can the M12 x 1.5 threads handle before stripping?

The wheel lock set uses M12 x 1.5 threads with a 17 mm hex for installation. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's specified torque value for the wheel bolts to avoid over-tightening.

Will the chrome finish discolour from brake heat during daily driving?

The chrome finish uses three layers of nickel and one layer of microporous chrome for corrosion resistance. It is designed to withstand normal brake heat encountered during daily driving without discolouration.

Does the special key tool come in the box with the 27179 set?

Yes, the set includes the unique computer-generated key tool required to install and remove the wheel locks. The key fits the 17 mm hex on each lock bolt.
