Wheel Lock
Looking to see if there are any z06 owners who upgraded to 10 spoke
Blade wheels? I bought a car from owner who ordered the car with this upgrade and I am trying to
See if the factory installed the wheel locks or the dealer did. The prior owner
said he never saw wheel lock and I haven't either and need to probably
remove these locks with socket or something.
Thanks

Factory never installs wheel locks. It is a dealer installed option.
There should of been a sticker with the wheel lock kit that is placed in the glove box or owners manual. Maybe its in there. Sometimes they throw it in the back cubby box. Check there too.

The wheel locks were made by McGard. Found this on their website:
"If you have misplaced your McGard ID Registration Card which was included with your lock set when originally purchased, check in your vehicle glove compartment as this is the most common place for the I.D. Card/Sticker to be stored. If you are unable to locate the I.D. card/sticker, please contact McGard Customer Service during normal business hours Monday – Friday, 8 am – 5 pm EST at 1-800-444-5847 for further assistance."

you DID check the entire car to see if the key lock is in the car? Like was mentioned MOST will put in back left rear cubby, if it is not in the center console or the glove box - also did you check behind the infotainment screen...........just saying

I checked all areas and nothing. Previous owner said he never saw it.

Update
I called Mcgard who makes a lot of wheel locks especially for gm and they said they would have been installed at the dealership. I took a close up picture and sent it to them and they believe they know which lock will fit my wheel. If it doesn't I just send it back and we try again, but at least I have a chance now of saving them first. Not bad price either $12 shipped to my house.
