Want to customize your rides in Saints Row with some unique and quirky car parts? The key is finding the lost wheels, hidden collectibles scattered throughout Santo Ileso’s desert regions. These aren’t just cosmetic; collecting them unlocks special car variants that add a distinct flavor to your garage. While not all are top-tier vehicles in terms of performance, their novelty makes them a worthwhile addition for any collector.
Embarking on this scavenger hunt for lost wheels early in your Saints Row journey can be tempting. However, it’s highly recommended to postpone your search until you’ve unlocked aerial vehicles. Flying significantly simplifies navigation across the map and provides a safer, faster way to traverse the Santo Ileso landscape, avoiding ground-level hazards and enemy encounters.
