Where To Buy Wheel Lock Key?

[Peter2008-5]

My tire shop lost the wheel lock key for our 2008 5 Grand Touring. I'm having a hard time figuring out where to find a replacement. Any recommendations would be HUGELY appreciated!

Thank you.

I tell the shop to take the locking lugs off and just chuck them in the trash and put on regular ones. Thieves just use conical sleeved impact sockets that work on anything.

That's a GREAT idea! Why didn't I think of that?!?!?! As of anyone's going to steal those old, out-of-fashion wheels! Thank you!

The stock wheel locks really are easy to defeat. If you've swapped your stock wheels for something expensive and are worried about thieves, these have kept the CCW wheels on my RX-7 safe and sound for years.

Second that. Get rid of them.
