I don't know if this helps, but most cars are now secured on the car carriers going to dealers by straps that go around each tire. I don't believe they use the tow hooks for transport much any more.
Found it back in the rear storage space.
I’ve had my rims scratched from being tied down like this. I recommend taking the sleeves off an old sweatshirt and pulling the straps through them before putting them through the rim. Personally I prefer the style that goes over the tire as opposed to going through the rim.Please listen to me as I have 9 years in transporting my race cars to and from tracks without one single issue. Strapping a car down correctly is the most important thing, safety first.
Pull strap through the rim not around it and not to any tow hooks!, connect to ratchet system....make sure you cross them and tighten down.
So pull strap through rim and out the other side, combine and connect to end hook of ratchet system, then cross the tie downs, Left to right/right to left. Sample pic below, don't mind the jar of milk...supporting a friends local farm.
