Black Lugs & Wheel Locks

[Boston182]

Just finished the swap with the McGard lugs and locks. The McGards are taller and don't have the bulge/ring, so if you really look closely you can see a little unpainted metal at the base of the nut. Not going to bother me, but would only take a quick touchup to make that go away.

Finally! Definitive proof these exist, fit, work, come in black, and have lockers. Is this on Sasquatch? And if not, would they still work on it?

If so, wanna end this thread for good and link the specific ones you got?

Found an ideal setup for black lugs and wheel locks to include securing that rear spare! I personally hate chrome lugs on black wheels so this was a must have.

Searched quite a bit to find a solution for all 4 wheels and the spare. Ultimately I decided on the below.

The Bronco uses 6 M12x1.50 lugs like the Ranger so a total of 24 lugs plus 3 for the spare wheel.

McGard 24526 - 5 piece black locking lugs with key.

McGard 64015 - 4 piece black lug nuts. Need to order 6 of these, you'll have 2 excess which isn't a bad thing to have on hand. You may be able to find a vendor who sells them individually as some buy them in bulk quantities.

Thnx for this! Ordered. I appreciate your research!

If you're wanting to swap lugs so quickly, I highly recommend the "Spline Drive" line of McGard lugs. The silver seat you see floats, meaning once you seat the lug, the base won't continue turning once you mate the wheel and lug. This will keep you from damaging the finish on your wheels (assuming you bought aftermarket wheels since the lug color is an issue for you)

You can't see the seat once the lug is installed, so the color there doesn't matter. I've used their Spline Drive lugs on my racing wheels with their expensive an thin finishes and these are a superior design and superior materials to even their normal lugs.

Yes, they are more expensive. But you're only buying them once if you buy the right items!

Those are badass I’m going to ha e to look into a set of those

Hey Rick, Do you have a link, not seeing these for Ranger or Bronco yet.

All, has anyone seen the Rash Rings available anywhere. Seems like they took them off the
Ford Parts and Accessories Site, and cant find them for pre purchase anywhere anymore.

I too would like to purchase a set of these. My Ford parts department told me these are a Ford Performance item and can only be purchased through a Ford performance dealer, like Summit racing. The last time I checked they were not available yet.

I have a non-Sasquatch Badlands with the upgraded wheel option, which is still 17". I can't imagine the lug size would be different on a Sasquatch but it's often the little things...I don't track the differences in the products quite as closely as many here do so maybe someone else could comment.

Products were the ones from OP. I purchased on Amazon.

No issues for me.

for me cheapest option is just spray paint them. if they get messed up, just spray them again!

Leaves you short a lock and lugs for the spare...would be nice if they made one of these specifically for the Bronco where they factor that in. I think I read in the thread or elsewhere some comment on these installation kits.

I ordered this exact setup from Amazon yesterday for my FE. I will reply here after I receive to let you know if they work.

Thanks dude. I know there's no reason it wouldn't work, but it'd be nice to see it on someone with the same build as me.

P.S. Your username never, ever ceases to make me laugh.

Ok, where did you get those lugs, and is the blackout center bronco, is that vinyl? And the most important question, where in gods name did you get that fender delete. I have never seen it before. It looks tits!

I just said F it and ordered the ford accessories set of 24 + set of 6. They only shipped me the set of 6 and after two phone calls it's like I have to somehow make a federal case out of proving the negative that I didn't receive the set of 24.

Such a different experience dealing with Ford compared to modern e-commerce companies. Lesson learned, $150 lost. I do not recommend Ford accessories, if they mispack your order their remediation process is to assume the consumer is running a scam (they must think i'm a lug nut black market tycoon).

bump to tag this thread for when my Bronco arrives.

FYI for people here with the stock BD steelies, the center cap (plastic with the bronco logo) is held on by the midline bulge on the Ford lugs.

So the McGard lugs which are almost definitely a better design but lack that bulge/lip cannot hold the cap on. Just fyi for people, you'll need a new hub cap/cover if you want to use these aftermarket black lugs
