Can't seem to find the McGard Wheel Locks 27226 "BLACK" for sale in the USA. Amazon has the 27226 "CHROME" for about $25! Only BLACK I can find are in the UK and price out at about $70+ with shipping.

Also, which OEM MINI Cooper BLACK wheel locks are the right part number, 36 13 6 792 850 or 36 13 6 776 802? Are they McGard too? (Look all BLACK, while the McGard only have BLACK tops)

Thanks for your help.

Here's the CHROME:

I got mine at Mini and they're all black, actually they just don't have paint and are a dark metal color. Not sure what brand they are, I'll check...

 

It looks like I may have to pay the piper for the OEM black locks. Was hoping for a 1/3 the price McGard alternative in black.

One seller of OEM locks says those two part numbers are for the same R56 locks. Is that ture? Don't want to order the wrong ones.

 

Not sure about the part numbers... Mine are OEM made by Mini which they gave me with my JCW wheels...

Have you tried to purchase directly from Mcgard ?

I was hoping for a deal price... Ended up ordering a set of EOM's from a Mini dealer at $67 shipped on the net. I'm good to go!

 

Too bad I didn't see this earlier. McGard is less than a mile from where I work, I could have just stopped by and asked for you.

 

Wow! There are clearly some really nice people here.

I'm always trying to save a few $$$ on things like this. Sometimes the time I spend saving $20 isn't worth it, then other times the savings is huge. Chrome locks for $25 and Black locks for $65??? What the...

I read somewhere in a thread that Price Club stripped a wheel lock key with an air gun and the guy couldn't get a replacement key from Mini. Mini had him call McGard direct because McGard apparently makes the Mini OEM locks.
