Lug Nut Wrench???

Can anyone tell me if the 2000 Vettes came with a factory lug nut wrench and if so, where is it located?

No they didn't. They have a wheel lock nut but that's it.

Nope no factory wrench, you're on your own with the lug star - you do, however have a factory wheel lock located in the drivers side rear well - lift the panel and you'll see it set in a little cut-out made just for it

Thanks,Matt

Yeah, lug nut wrenches typically come with a jack and spare tire.

A plug kit and compressor are all you need with non run flats.Never use fixaflat on tires with sensors.

How would the factory know that? GM sold all non-Z06 C5s with runflats.

I have non-run-flats on my car. I also bought the Tire Rack compressor with the goop built in. If I get a flat, the last thing I'm worrying about is the cost of replacing a TPS--just get it inflated and me off the highway, that's my interest!
