Abstract
A wheel lock apparatus is set forth wherein a wheel mount threadedly attaches to an existing axle bolt for securement of a conventional automotive wheel thereto. A reciprocating butterfly latch is mounted within diametrically spaced slots of the wheel mount and is positionable from a retracted position to an extended position by means of an overlying coaxial lock bolt mounted within a positioning cylinder, whereupon positioning of the butterfly latch to the extended orientation enables selective latching of a main hexagonal body containing the positioning cylinder and lock bolt. Upon latching of the main hexagonal body, the wheel mount may be secured or withdrawn from the associated threaded axle mounting member.
