Default Where do you keep your Wheel Lock Key?

I was curious where you guys put it or leave it out of the car?

I had an R before and put in the spare tire well cause theres lots of room. But theres a subwoofer in the S and I don't want to put it somewhere where it scratches the plastic or flies around..

Thanks in advance..

I keep mine in my glove box with all the other important papers, I believe most people would keep it out of the car because you never know when your going to need it...

Might as well keep it in the glove box because if someone wants your wheels they will take them. Besides, if you get you car worked on and they need to take off the wheels and you forget the key then you have to travel back home and get it (hassle). I had wheel locks on my 95 GSR factory wheels and my car was stolen and they used some type of gripper to turn the wheel locks off.

Same here - had my car stolen with gorilla lugs on my slipstreams. It didn't matter if they didn't have the key – they'll get them off. Locking lugs are a detterant. With that being said, I keep mine in my car. I got a bolt in my tire about 90 miles away from my home and I didn't have my key. Luckily, the bolt kept the hole plugged.

Keep it in the car, you may need it for a flat tire..

As previously said, if they want your wheels bad enough, you aren't going to be able to stop them..

I keep mine in the change door. I think it's a good place no one would look there. Ya wheel locks are a deterrant. But there is no stopping those jackass car thieves.

used to bring it with me all the time, yes it's annoying to have a big metal thing in my pocket (i had mcgard) but i think leaving it in the car defeats the purpose. I got stocks wheel locks from the dealer (came with the car) but i leave it in the trunk now because they ain't no volk racing wheels

I left my key in my garage as i'm trying out how to take the spare tire out and leave the subwoofer in. If the spare tire did'nt hold the sub properly in place, it would've been out a long time ago.
