McGard vs. Ford Performance Black Lug Nuts

[JL724]

Any reason to go with one over the other? I don't want any locks, just the regular lug nuts.

Does anyone know if the correct McGard part if 64015 or 64031?

No personal experience, but I've heard that the Ford Lug Nuts are the same 'style' as the factory lug nuts. There's been issues with the outer jacket swelling and/or coming loose. Any 'one-piece' design is better. Personally, I went with the Gorilla Spline Drive set from CJ Pony Parts (27 piece). While economical, they've held up fine.

I believe anybody can get the Ford lugnut tool. If you like your wheels and tires, lock them on. I use McGard locks. My lugs are M12x1.5 and the McGard number is 24537.

Thanks but I don’t live an area where I’d need locks and quite frankly, a thief can get around locks pretty easily.

I agree, the locks just push the thief to the next Bronco without them. I have always had them and have not lost a set of wheels and tires yet.

The biggest difference between the black Ford lugs and McGard is that the McGard are one piece and won't swell over time...I had the Ford ones on my Fusion, and they had to be replaced twice - the first time, I literally had to cut the outer shell off in order to get a lug wrench to work on it. I can't give you the proper McGard number because Raptor lugs are larger, but the Mcgard guys or Summit Racing are good about getting you the proper Part #..

I swapped all the nuts with mcgar because of 1 piece nuts. You can get full sets on Amazon. Coincidentally, if you buy the locks from ford, they are mcgard locks(but double the price)
Yes you dont want the locks, just pointing out that even ford used mcgard products, but slaps a ford label on it.

Use the locks, dont use them, really can't tell the difference anyway

Ive had both for years and no issues with Ford just dont hammer on them wih impact like the norm hand break and torque to spec. McGuards will take impact abuse but lose the finish consistency.​

​

In fact, I just tossed a set of black mcguards out as I prefer chrome.​

Ordered the McGard 64015. Thanks everyone.

The McGard lug nuts have smaller shoulders than the factory nuts, so at least in my case there is a small unfinished piece of the wheel taper visible around the nuts. Not a big deal to me, just something to be aware of.

Dealer lost my locks looked up the code and part # and it's mcgard with Ford part#. Dealer ordered new ones and removed existing with temp nut replacements

Replaced them with bigger unsighty locks stating the nice ones I had were from Bronco Sport and they could only get 4 LOL a total comedy of incompetence Im just gonna buy a new set and give them recipt for reimbursement.

I did the exact same for the exact same reasons. IDK about the ford performance lugnuts.
