Question about wheel locks
For those who've purchased the wheel locks, how many keys did you get? Also, where do you keep it/them? Any special place in the car to keep one, like BMWs have? (I know it's better not to keep the key in the car, but I'm just wondering if there is a spot for it.)

I don't believe in wheel locks. First, it affects tire balance. Second, if they're stolen (rarely happens nowadays, they take the whole car) I have insurance & get new wheels & tires.

My sets from the dealer have one key...and I keep it in the trunk with the tire or jack stuff. If the car needs tire work I think the tech would look there first.

Keep mine with the Jack in the boot but its the most obvious place for a thief.
Taping it under the seat or somewhere less obvious would be more precautionary. Well they have to get into the car first to find it.....and then look. Breaking the boot lock and finding the key is easy picking. The Mcard locks come with one key and you can register it with company to retrieve if its lost.
