Lug Keys

How f**ked am i if I lost it? (bang)

that just all depends on if you keep the paperwork that came with the locks and you can write the company and get another....if they are the factory locks....you MIGHT get luck and go back to a dealer and find a car with one that is close enough to yours to get your locks off.....then pitch them and get a new set.

other wise....you will need to take the car to a VERY GOOD shop that can drill them off.

Well the MP3's come with them factory, but when I had some work done on my car they neglected to tell me that they damaged 2 of the lugs, and replaced them with regular lugs. When I went to complain he just handed me a new set.

Just go back to the dealer and ask for a lug lock, I'd suspect. I don't see why not..

if you want to do it the free way just hammer a 12 point socket on and twist it off. thats what we do when people lose their wheel lock. of course replace it with a normal lug. wheel locks= pain in the ass.

Wheel locks saved my wheels at least once in my high school parking lot. I went out to my car and three lugs were gone. Just gone! Three in a row, like they started.. and couldn't get the lock lug off. We love the lock lug.

i was painting my calipers and I have lug locks on all four corners. I finished three of the four calipers, loosened all four regular lugs and lo and behold could not for the life of me get the lug lock of!! I even tried my 285ft-lb impact wrench and nothing. I had to drive to a local tire shop and have them use their impact wrench to get it off. Pissed me off. It took a total of like 8 hours to do my damn calipers, no thanks to the locks. Still won't go w/o them though. Peace.

ya the mazda dealer had a master set, they just ordered a new key for me, and the locks may be a "pain" but being the MP3 rims go for like $250+ each I'll gladly keep them on.
