Wheels Locks

You know what? I think my wheel guy might be right about the tip not being relevant. I just noticed something in the pic comparing the Murano lug to the 370 lug. Look closely at the tip of the Murano lug on the left. See all the wear marks? So the tip is obviously making actual contact with the rim. Now look at the tip of the 370 lug. It's clean - there are no wear marks at all, which tells me that it's not actually touching the rim, and all the contact is at the washer.

Bottom line - I've got a set of the shank-style McGards on order. I should have them by Wednesday, and I'll let everyone know if they work or not. I'll be the guinea-pig on this one. ;-) If it does in fact require a tapered tip, then when I try to put the McGards on, they just won't go in all the way. If they go in all the way and I can torque them down smoothly and properly, then we're good to go.
