3D model description

If you have nice rims on your car, you most likely have wheel locks to prevent theft. Once you have installed the lock-lugs, you are left with a wheel lock key. Wheel lock keys need to be with you when you are driving your car incase you get a flat, but it is an inconvenience to carry the key like other keys you carry due to size and weight. So, most people hide their lock in their car. Their hiding spots are not usually inspired, such as the glove box or around the spare tire.

This in turn causes the security of the wheel lock to be a security by obscurity. Someone breaking into your car could typically find the key quickly and this wheel lock measure is reduced to someone breaking into your car and successfully locating your key.

Personally, I have TE37s which are very expensive and desirable. Initially I was terrified of them being stolen. I legit carried my wheel lock key in my pocket for the first year.

This wheel lock security box enables you to place the wheel lock into a box that can be secured by a padlock and steel cable tether. This enables you to carry just the padlock key and provide a mechanism to slow thefts even further.

Admittedly this box could be destroyed with a blow torch or sledge hammer. A tether makes it harder to use these destruction methods. I'm not sure how long it would take to destructively open this box, but it wont be easy or straight forward.
