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!

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......

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?

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.

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.
