I keep mine in the trunk also.

Use to keep mine in the glove box until someone brook in my car to still the wheel lock. Walking out to see your car sitting on blocks is bad enough. Seeing the broken class in the passenger seat and water in the car form the rain was just extra icing on the cake

im not sure where the logic is on this one... even if you put the key in the
trunk, they'll break the glass again before getting into the trunk. :confused:


honestly you're better off not using any locks and get yourself an alarm with tilt sensor.

Simple logic - hope they look in glove box and center and leave.

Can't stop crime - just try to survive it

thanks all for letting me know where your wheel locks are guys :stirthepot:

I used to keep my key with my keys. So that way it'll always be with me.

If thieves can steal wheels off a car in 5 min with wheel locks and all, I would think a mechanic can get it off as well. OP, you've had your car for how long now and you are just realizing it had wheel locks? Thankfully you never had a flat and attempted to put the spare on. Good luck with everything.

That was the OEM one. I no longer have those lug nuts. :stirthepot:

Okay, so bought new in June, no mention of locks on any invoices nor have I come across a "key". How would I tell if I have locking lug nuts? Oh, and not like the salesman knew much about the car since they picked it up from across state/different dealer...

phew http://hfboards.hockeysfuture.com/im...ilies/phew.gif that was a close one OP

Go look at your Z and see if one of the lugs is different from the rest. Also, Mitco posted a picture of them...

I have all the keys to get lug nuts off. You can buy a master set online so my advice is to remove them and use regular lug nuts.

If someone wants your wheels and tires they will get them.

Maybe, maybe not. Anti theft measures don't necessarily have to be foolproof to be effective. Sometimes, maybe many times, all you have to do is have a modest measure of theft deterrence to keep yourself from becoming a victim. A lot of theft is opportunistic or not the act of someone willing to go to any length. Just making the theft take a little longer to execute can make the bad guy move on.
