After taking delivery almost a year ago, I finally got the wheels locks put on during the first oil change.

The dealer said they had a master key when rotating tires, so I assume the thieves do as well.

For now, I have the key shoved under the passenger's seat as somebody would have to try the alarm to get to it. But I may just put it on the spare in the trunk. I'm not so sure of the effectiveness of wheel locks at all.

Nevertheless, they charged me went I bought the car, so I didn't think it would hurt to get what I paid for.

 

I keep mine in the trunk with the spare tire. My RDX had a nice zippered bag that attached to the wrench--wish we had those...

 

you want to TRY and hide it. or at least not in a typical place; if someone breaks in they could easily grab the key/

 

this! i have that, i thought it all tsx gets it...i guess my dealer just thought to put it in there then lol

 

I'm not telling.....for obvious reasons

 

I also have the little bag that goes on the lug wrench in the rear...

 

I got that bag from the dealer as well.

If someone is going to bust the trunk to steal rims then i'm guessing they have a master wheel lock or an impact wrench. All that thing really stops is passers by that (apparently) walk around with tire irons.

 

I had it in the spare tire compartment on my old tsx. I thought it was a bit easy to figure out but I couldn't think of any other place to put it at the time. Any other suggestions? Nate tell me your secret spot...me love you long time.

 

my sock draw so no one will find it.

 

make a hidden compartment in the engine bay. theyll never expect that! unless thieves are reading this...

 

melt it down and use it for replacement teeth

 

I got it surgically attached to my testicle






I'll never tell which one.

 

Eh.. right now I just have stock rims so it's taped to the piece of paper that says "please steal" that is taped to the rim itself.

 

I keep mine with the spare as well. Not matter what wheel lock you have, if the thief wanted the wheel badd enough, they'll get it. AT least that's what i hear!

 

if a thieft really want something, they can get it regardless of what you have. you can have a robot defending your wheels and the thieft can still manage to steal it, just a matter of time. wheel lock is to help slow down thiefts, which is what turns them away from stealing. stealing wheels means they want the job to be quick and fast, so they wont get caught. putting locks will slow their process down, increasing their probability of getting caught much higher.

 

I leave mine sitting at home in the garage.
No need for the key, unless you're changing tires/wheels.

 

and if you get a flat tire while driving...? stupid

 

justnspace's spaceship has no wheels.

 

#SadStoriesOfThe4GTL

 

I dont carry a spare wheel either.
insurance roadside assistance for the win.

I get the car towed back to my house, or a shop of my choice.

and I love my 3G!

 

saving weight ftw?! haha

 

^you got it!!

 

I packed my wheels full of grass clippings, so if I get a leak I can still drive it home no problem.

 

i know so many people that do this lol

 

lol i understand the whole weight saving point, but i rather have one in case for emergency, not like the tsx can do 0-60 in 5 seconds with the spare off

 

i find wheel locks a hassle and useless, if a thief wants your wheels, they're gonna get it, all it takes if for you to misplace your wheel lock at a time when you need it most, and you're in for a world of headache

 

Go away you, but mine is in the TSX thats all I will say

 

that's what you think!

 

it's in the glove box isn't it?

 

Items I have in the TSX right now
-Wipes
-Shoe Polish
-Blackberry Car Charger
-Wheel lock thing

Thats it lol, trunk is empty, I like a clean workspace

 

I made my pet armadillo swallow a condom with my wheel lock in it... I should have thought of this idea first. Hindsight .

 

but but but...condoms break...ed's mom should know...he was the result...ilu ed <3

 

Who needs a master key?
