04 wheel locks
I just noticed there are no wheel locks.
The 01 had them. Is this normal ?

Neither did mine. Bought a set of chromed locks for about $20. There's a place to store the "key" in the driver's side rear storage compartment.

Just so you know, there were not any on the 2003 models either.

Actually, some of the '02's didn't get them either. They made a running change in MY 2002 that eliminated them.

I thought the change happened sometime in model year 2003?

I just got my wheel locks today. I ordered them from Fichtner. Put them on and they look good.

You could have got the wheel lock from anywhere. They are a pretty standard size. If mine hadn't of come with my chrome wheels I would have bought Gorilla acorn locks.
