wheel key help!

[high3at0209]

i cant seem to find my wheel key (i actually think they took it from a shop i went to) so i obviously cant remove my tires. Anyone know where i could get a new key or if they have any other recommendation. ill appreciate the help

I suspect you're going to need the dealer. They're provided by a third-party vendor, I think. Makes me glad I took the damn things off and substituted a regular lug nut.

Take it to any tire shop they should have a locking lug nut removal tool...just make sure you bring your other lug to replace.

or if your not in a HURRY then get one of these and do it yourself.

Yup, some wheel shops have an extractor that they hammer on to the lug and then it eats in to the lug when it's being turned.
Any decent tech will be able to do it without touching the wheel.

I just had this done when they used an air tool to tighten the wheel locks which ultimately stripped the 'oem' key.

Yeah i just bought my 08 speed3 and the dealer didnt have the wheel locks, so i brought it to mazda and they took the old ones off with their master set and put a new set on. Cost me 90 bucks, but i sent the bill to the dealer i bought it from and they sent me a check in the mail a week later
