I just picked up my new 2006 C6 yesterday, I don't see a key for the lug nuts. If I got the standard rims, I don't get the locking lug nuts?

I have the polished aluminum wheels and no locking lug nuts, either.

I had the polished wheels on my C5 and they came with the locking lug nuts....

Does anyone have the GM part # for the wheel locks. thnx: and Happy Holidays

GM stopped including locking nuts on the C5 during model year 2002 (if I remember correctly) and haven't supplied them since for the C5 or C6.



P/N is 12498078. The plastic case containing the nuts also has XXXXXX hand-written on it if that means anything.

EDIT: I removed the hand-wiitten number above in my post. See Below.

That is probably the serial number for your key. If it were me, I would edit your post and remove that number ASAP.

I have never been a fan of locking lug nuts. Sooner or later I end up asking myself "Wheres the key?"

I have Polished wheels on my C6 and they came with locking lug nuts. The car was delivered in May.

Got mine on my '05 w/polished wheels, delivered in Oct 2005, but it was build around July/August '05

I think it depends on the dealer. My car did not come with locks, but I bought two Jeeps last year, one for my wife and one for my daughter. My wife's had more options and no locks, my daughter's had locks because the dealer I got my daughters from puts locks on everything.

Merry Christmas!

We had a Firebird with a locking nut on each wheel. Bought new tires and always told them where the wrench was. It wasn't replaced nor noticed until nearly a year later for a flat repair. Make that $300 to cut them off and replace the damaged studs. I'd rather have them steal the wheels with a zero deductible.

go and get the mcgard locking lug nut kit it is 25 at pep boys. You may not care if they take your wheels since you don't like the polished ones however think of the fun you will have getting your car home from where ever it was left. Also do you think they will jack it up correctly when they do it.?! i know that it can be stolen anyway however if deters the amateur little creeps and they go on to the next car that is all I want. Most of us are pretty **** about our cars. Mcgard has you register and you can buy a second lock that you can keep not in your car if you tend to lose things. just my humble opinion

Get the McGard locks and save some money.

That was a rip-off. I've heard here on the Forum that you only have to hammer a socket on to get the nut off.

If my wheels/tires are stolen, I'll just get new ones courtesy of my insurance company.

You go ahead and take a hammer to yours then worry about what else you screwed up pounding away. I'll pay to have it done right. So, it wasn't a rip off, just not the approach you would have taken.

They don't steal wheels anymore, they take the whole car. Those wheel locks are a pain in the a$$. Thats what you have insurance for.

There was picture posted a while back of a c6 vert sitting on it's disc brakes in a parking garage. Your right it if a pro wants your car they jsut put it on a flat bad and it's gone. It is the low rent thieves I worry about. I do not want to get stranded and have to deal with repairing brakes towing etc. In the end do what you want to do I think 25 bucks for the life of the car is a cheap deterrent.
