Hi guys, thinking about going with quieter tires and I am wondering if my 2003 regular corvette has wheel locks or not, the car is still in storage so I cant just look. Any and all help appreciated

Unless they were removed and replaced, then yes, it has them. Lug socket can be found in the rear, under the driver side well in an indention pocket.

Just educated myself. Didn't realize that was an option. Thanks, I stand corrected.

You're probably just going to have to look at your car and see if there are wheel locks on it. Unless you are the original owner, a prior owner could have installed locks on the car.
