Unless LR actually use McGard of course....
LR do use Mcgard, but what you have said is most likely correct, I know for a fact that this happens with other manufacturers, where 5 carefully purchased keys will undo all sets of the nuts.

Now whether the part number (not unique to LR, but is the LR fitment) and not purchased from LR will get you a more 'random' key pattern... I don't know. Shocked

Which means a well prepared thieving scumbag would be able to take the wheels if the key pattern is not unique....

Hmmmm. not sure what to do...

On the assumptions that LR use a standard series of keys, and that you could never get a really unique key for after market locking nuts, and you are very paranoid over the loss of your alloys (I didn't think this was a big issue nowadays) you could use the LR and a set of aftermarket as well.

I mean how likely is it that any 'scumbag' will have both keys?

and if said theives have a full set of "service" keys anyway, they're clearly tooled up/in the know on the car anyway Surprised

Are there any other suppliers other than McGard and Land Rover that make wheel locks for the evoque?

RE: Best alloy wheel locks ? - Lone Rangerover - 18-07-2012 07:57am

Does anyone know if these will work with the oe 20" wheels?

I mailed the vendor, and he said that he is not 100% sure as most land overs have a washer type nut on them.

I have never then one of mine apart so don't know what they look like.

Does anyone know if they would work ?

the dimensions are the same as OE, so there is no reason they shouldn't fit. Smile
