We offer application for newer BMW's in the 14x1.25 pitch and each bolt has it's own spline key design and key that needs to be used to install/ uninstall your wheels.

Didn't find them on your web site, can you PM a link to where they can be purchased.

Apologies if this is obvious... would these bolts work perfectly on a stock setup? How about replicas? TIA!

Benefits include:
-spline head design that is to be used strictly with Vorsteiner Spline key to install/ uninstall
-6 stage black coating for durability and high quality finish and luster
-30mm shank versus the traditional oem shank to offer a tighter lock in as well as accomodate 3-5mm spacers in case needed for big brake calipers
-unique bolt head design to protect wheel holes from being scratched

Interested in these, please pm link for ordering in M4 fitment, uk supplier would be ideal. Thanks

This. Its just a deterrent for the casual tea leaf. If someone wants your wheels, they're gone.

There is unfortunately a relatively easy way to remove plain Mcguard nuts.
You need the type that has the free spinning edge to take care of the problem.
Luckily the BMW OEM security bolts are the ones you need.




Mcguard are actually the OEM for BMW security wheel bolts.
So just get a set from your dealer.
They are then already fully black and they are the type with the free spinning collar.

BMW Part number for M2 : 36 13 6 792 851

Size is M14x1,25



The Black OEM BMW McGuard ones with the free spinning collar

One note on any security bolts:

Do Not, Do Not, Do Not let anyone fasten them with air tools.

They will over torque them and your adapter tool/key will break trying to remove them.
Always fasten by hand only


I actually remove mine and fit a regular bolt in their place if any of the cars go in to the dealer or tire shop.
I then replace it when the car is back an re torque all the other bolts to the BMW spec.
This way you never have problems

The BMW OEM part number of the stock BMW wheel lock bolts was linked in posts #1 and 12 of this thread.

As indicated in a previous comment: get an additional wheel lock bolt that is different than the BMW OEM wheel lock bolts. Purpose: avoid that thieves can use the BMW key set to unlock it (please note that it's not very complicated to get your hands on a BMW key set serving to unlock OEM wheel lock bolts).

I cant agree more, I just saw a socket like tool that fits over these lock bolts that has spiral groves inside it that help spin it off in case you can't get your locking bolt off due to damage or whatever. Even a rookie with a battery impact tool can remove most wheel locks.

On my last bimmer I had the BMW locks that were put back on with an impact gun. I couldn't get them off, even with an impact gun they ended up being stripped. We ultimately got them off with the bolt extractor you mentioned. Came off instantly with an impact gun. Just avoid shady areas and you'll be fine people.

Friend of mine all 4 wheels of his LBB M2 were stolen last night. Found his car on four blocks. Also the M Performance trunk lip and one of the CF mirror caps were ripped off. The car was parked in covered parking lot. Damn frustrating.

Have not tested yet, but it seems that - according to the McGard configurator - the '27226' model of McGard are the way to go for the M2 and current M3/M4 (M14x1.25 thread + 17mm hex size are indeed correct):

Looks Good! Which ones did you end up going with? Thanks

[BishUK]

Went with the triple nickel (black) plated ones from McGard - purchased the box set which includes all wheel bolts and locking bolts. McGard part no. = 67229SUB
They are OEM 17hex M14x1.25 but I got the 10mm longer ones over OEM length as I've added 10mm spacers. OEM length is 27mm, mine are 37mm.

[dasblack]

Will these do? I can't find the 27226 in black anywhere.
