What is a Wheel Lock Key?

What in the world is a Wheel Lock Key?
Welcome to Mercie J, where compassion and craftsmanship come together, I'm Rick Smith. So first of all let's start by talking about what holds your wheels on. Most vehicles use nuts on the wheels, it's just a standard hex shaped item that a socket goes over. Some use a bolt which is basically the same thing, it has a hex. On some cars we have what's called splines and so instead of a socket, it's a series of spines and we have a special socket that slides over. Once again, that's a universal thing.
