Some Advice
If you take your car somewhere to have tires put on it, make sure that you have your wheel lock key in hand before driving off. It is a pain in the rear to get a new one. Appearently no GM dealers in the Austin area stock the things. When I called the manufacturer of the wheel locks the lady told me she probably sells 10 a day to people who lost thiers at a tire store.
Well, at least I discovered mine missing doing maint., not on the roadside with a flat

You can live with none until you don't have any wheels/tires!

It keeps them on with the little neihbor hood punks that take anything that isn't somewhat locked down. They took my platic caps off of one side of my car already!

My life is a- Ben Stiller movie.

That happened to me w/my old Z. I went back to the shop that did not give it back to me & made them remove the locks & put a new set on & hand me the key to the new set.
