Jer Posted December 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 3, 2012 Once again thanks for the gift Jer, bit heavy for the ignition so I found a different use...... Ha! I'm doing the same thing with mine! My wife looked upon me with a pitiful face when I suggested it... taking my work home, and all. Yes, they will bash a hole in the dash if you use them as your regular keychain, I'm sure! Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Texastinlegs Posted December 12, 2012 Report Share Posted December 12, 2012 Where can I find a tire to fit the keychain rim? - it looks naked without one! :-) Reminded myself NOT to leave my wheel locknut key in the car (as I have done in prior years) now my prized rims are installed. Have attached it to my splendid new mini-Alcoa keychain now and always take it with me when leaving the car. Might not deter the most ardent criminal intent on snatching my cherished rims - but every little helps I guess. Gentle reminder to all new 50 year Alcoa owners to consider a similar approach - don't make it easy for the bad guys to make off with your cherished rims. Let's keep 'em in the family. So what about a Shelby quick-release keychain in the product line next year specifically designed to hold locknut keys?? Just sayin...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet if you went to a hobby shop that specialized in nice R/C cars, Traxxas, etc... you may be able to find a tire! As for the locknuts, there are many brands. What are YOU using?

Texastinlegs Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 Jer - I'm still using the original McGard locking nuts that came as OEM from Ford: http://www.mcgard.com/ Anyone seen any reviews of locking wheel nut systems to rate one over the other? Are locking nuts any more than a minor inconvenience to the ardent and experienced rim thief anyway?? I'd happily shell out real cash money for a system that offered a better than average deterrent to the bad guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd happily shell out real cash money for a system that offered a better than average deterrent to the bad guys. I think it helps sort out the casual thief from the ardent one, but I'd be surprised to see anything that TRULY protected. A torch and a socket hammered over the top will usually dislodge most locks.

Available here: http://www.shelbysto...-1130-shlby.htm Jer Never realized before that those caps have the Snake facing in both directions. I'm assuming the package contains two left facing caps and two right facing caps. Now the big question is what direction should the Snake face Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been busy setting up a new program for center caps. If you would rather have those, let me know via email, and I'll coordinate with you next week when we're back at work.

662HP631TQ Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 Did the center caps come in the box with the wheel? IF haven't checked the wheels in the boxes yet to confirm, I got back from Afghanistan in late December. I'll check tomorrow though. If they come in a separate box, I never got mine. I have all 4 wheels they are in my garage. Please let me know. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snoopy49 Posted January 5, 2013 Report Share Posted January 5, 2013 They are packed with one of the wheels. Look for a small white label on the side of the box, it will have the wheel size (20x9 or 10) and the box with the caps will have W/Caps in black marker on the white label under the wheel size.
