Re: Wheel locks

I had factory locks on my 2001 Audi A6. Discount Tire lost the key but I didnt notice until months later. Eric's method didn't work since there was no room to get a socket around the lock (recessed and too narrow). Had to weld a nut to the lock on all four wheels to get it off so I could take off my winter tires. What a pain.

Shannon, it’s good to know that cars will still be here, AND still run on wheels In 2091! Of course most of us won’t be around to see it :D
