are you putting wheel locks on your SS S/C wheels??

They are about $27.00 through the parts department. They look kinda funny cuz the appearance of the bolt is a bit different then the other 4 but it screams don't waste time trying to steal my wheels.

who would want the wheels? they don't fit on anything besides a new malibu or maxx, or G6... do they really steal wheels anymore anyway? don't they just take the whole car now, its faster...

100% Get Them!

FOR SURE! I know that one "tire" alone is $270!!!!!!!! x 4 = $1,080 plus the rims! NO one cares if it fits their car or anyone elses! They would just steel them and sell them right away for nothing! Just to have a few bucks in their pocket. GET THE LOCKS! It could take them less than 4 minutes to steal them!

No wheel locks on the models in the US. I took my wheel off with just a jack so I am 100% sure about that. I can't imagine wheel locks are going to stop a theif who is determined to get your wheels.

A garage will help eliminate that problem if you're lucky enough to have one.

Dealer Locks

My dealer just gave me a set yesterday for my Ss/Sc. They look retarded though. They are brass (color wise) !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UGH! I will call and see if they have chrome or not. The brass in color just looks poopy, but if that's all they have then I will live with it. Better than losing the wheels. Mine is garage kept too, but it doesn't stop anyone else where you park for the day or visit over the weekend.

Could be.. I should've looked and seen if they were on the car..

Looking at the pics I took last night though, it doesn't look like there's any locks on the wheels. Hard to tell since I took em at night. They're in the gallery if anyone wants to look

I highly doubt this, but please let us know what you are talking about and where you heard this.

We already have the "print book" for a 06 models and it doesn't look like there are many SS/SC changes--just a color choice. Although it is not the Canada book, if there is such a thing.
