Default ZO6 HELP! Cant find wheel key!

Cant find it. Never had to use it and dealer says it should be in the glove box Is there some other place it could be? I know I have not ever seen it

Thanks for any ideas.

I lost mine too. Just had to have em blast em off. No damage was done, probably because I watched from a foot away. I'm not that worried about the wheels getting stolen so I just bought regular lugs...

If you lift the rear drivers carpet there is a small notch for key. This is were mine is. On my '97 this spot was formed into the carpet under the drivers hatch cover (same place).

Default Wheel Key?

I don't think my 04 ZO6 Z16 came with a wheel key. I took the wheels off when lowering the car & did not use a wheel key.

???????

Default update

I had a small addendum page in a notebook which describes the location of the key on the drivers side rear under the carpet. The key has been located. Thanks all!

No problem, if you lost the key, just replace them.

Take a 12 point socket the is just barely too small and pound it on with a hammer, then loosen and remove. Those locks do not prevent theft, they just delay is a minute. I've taken tons of them off this way when buddies lost their keys. No need th use a chisel or torch. This same method works for stripped ones too.
