Locking Lug Recommendation (Gold 763 Wheels)?
There were posts several weeks back with a lug recommendation for the gold wheels. Can't find that thread now - would appreciate any recommendations.

Actually I'm getting the gold wheels with my M2CS. I was tempted to wait to see the wheels and ensure I get locking lugs that match the other lugs and wheel center.

https://www.amazon.com/McGard-27326-...R03Q66A1P1TSJB whereas the McGard 27226 is comparably priced to the price in Euros at your link. |

I only shared my experience to help out others: the ones that I use do fit. That's all I said and that's all that I will keep saying. Whether other model numbers from McGard or other brands are identical or fit: maybe that's the case or maybe that's not the case; anyways I never made statements about that because of the mere fact that I have never tried these. I also never claimed that the ones I use are the only ones to get. Feel free to buy what you like and thanks in advance for sharing your experiences too. If you buy different ones than those that I use: good for you + that's your choice. Note: with this comment I don't peddle back on what I stated in previous comments in a similar recent thread (see for example here). I only shared my personal experiences (use of those parts on my current M2C and on my former M2).

So I had "spline style" wheel locks on my F80 but my G07 and now F87 CS seem to use McGard locks.
Having a hard time figuring out which is better. Been reading up on both but can't seem to find concrete info. Seems like the only wheel lock set available is 36-13-2-453-961 which I assume is the same as "Z62 Wheel Locks" which you can get port-installed. These look to be McGard. Anyone know if the "spline style" lock set 36-13-6-776-076 is better/worse or even fits on the F87 CS? Also, seems like the spline style comes with 2 keys vs. McGard's 1 key. Not looking to debate locks vs. no locks... I am certainly getting wheel locks... just not sure what the difference between these two are. Thanks in advance! |

I am with the group of wheel locks. My M2 came without them but the dealer installed them free of charge before he handed me the keys.

Confirmed. They fit just fine on the CS.

Wheel locks are pretty much pointless and I'm surprised so many people still use them. Any competent wheel thief will take like 10 extra seconds to get a lock off. It isn't going to stop anyone from stealing your wheels. A wheel lock removal kit is $50, or you hammer a socket on and crank it off like any normal lug.
More often than not its just a false sense of security, and they look crappy. Don't park your $60k+ car in the hood and you won't have an issue |

What surprises me is that you're from NY/NJ and feel like a $60k (or an $80k) car is expensive to park in "the hood". When I lived in a penthouse apartment in the tallest residential tower in NJ, guess where I parked? Yep, the parking deck below. My friends with even more expensive cars? On the street "in the hood" below. Don't chastise folks for $50 wheel locks on a car forum where we gladly pay $45 for colorful stickers. |

And to say they look really bad. Come on? Do you get down on your knees and look at cars? I can't even tell. I drive the crap out of my cars both on street and track. I couldn't give a crap as to how a lug nut is going to look. I live in "the hood" as you say so I have to take precautions. I can only afford to park my $200k+ cars in the garage and leave my 60k+ cars outside for the butler to use. |

The F80 came with spline style and 2 keys (1 of which I kept in the garage for easy access) whereas the G07 came with McGards and 1 single, much larger key. I do prefer the look of spline style and 2 keys. Artemis I see you like the McGards. Any known benefit to that vs. spline style? |
