Wheel rim lock? Wheel lock! Or maybe an anti-theft wheel lock? So where’s the difference?
People use different names for wheel bolts or nuts with a special coding on the head, which can only be opened with a particular key. Whatever the name used, it always means the same, a special protection, which helps secure your valuable alloy wheels from theft.

Are there plastic caps for the McGard anti-theft wheel locks?

McGard does not offer plastic caps for your own security. If a thief does not immediately notice the McGard wheel locks, because they are covered with plastic caps, and he starts to open the normal wheel bolts or nuts, he won’t reinstall them after having determined that the car is protected with wheel locks. This can be very dangerous for you, as you surely do not check every day if the wheel bolts or nuts are tightened. 

If you have black wheel bolts or nuts or caps, you can use our black wheel locks we developed for you.  

How do I find the right McGard wheel locks for my vehicle?
