I know this is a silly question, but I can't find in my car something similar to a (I don't know the name in English sorry) security key just to change a wheels. In a Cabrio there's no compartment on the back. Any one knows where in the car I can look for that ?

Thanks,
Alex.

Alex, you used the term "security key" correctly - and most everyone that uses English as their primary language understood. Many times there are different ways of saying the same thing. I have seen them called "wheel locks", "wheel bolt locks", "stud locks" and so on.

You did just fine.

(Much better than I could have done in Italian.)

I would call it a locking wheel nut key.

Even though they are bolts not nuts!

English is confusing enough if you are English!

How about your Spanish Rev?

My comment is what is known as a massive brain hick-up. Please accept my sincere apology!
