Wheel Locks

Ok, assuming no thieves are reading this forum I was wondering where people usually keep the key for their wheel locks. Do you bother hiding it or do you just throw it in with the rest of the tools? Right now mines just sitting in my glove box but I'd like to find a better place for it.

Just curious.

If I were you, I'd duct tape it to the inside rear fender well via the access panel in the trunk. Just make sure you tape it good, so it doesn't fall. As for me, I'm not locking my stock rims. Hopefully someone will steal them so I can get a new set with the insurance check (minus deduct of course). I like the stock rims, but would like something different...to be different!

the trunk is the worst place to put them because all theives know that the trunk is where the wheel lock keys usually are kept

hmmm

I think the glove box is the first place. I didnt say you'd find it easily in the trunk. You'd need to dig around alittle while.

It really doesnt matter anyway.. that damn Bob Villa tool thing is supposed to work
