Description:
Wheel locks function like regular lug nuts, with the
exception of requiring a special key tool for
removal and installation.
Purpose: Wheel locks help to prevent
theft of expensive aluminum and
alloy wheels,
along with their
tires. Wheel locks are also available for spare
tires.
Maintenance Tips/Suggestions:
Keep the key
to your wheel locks in a convenient place (glove box) so
it will be available when you need it. If the
key is used when your car is in for
service, check to make sure that it has been returned to the
place where you keep it. Finding out that you don’t
have the key when it’s time to
change a flat tire can turn a minor inconvenience into
a major aggravation. It’s also a good
idea to record the code from your wheel locks and
order an extra key if possible.
