If its a special kind then your screwed and you have to buy new ones but if there factory ones just go to a dealer and get one or on ebay.

If you still have the lugnut lock maker's info. Just call them or email them or whatever stating what happen and give them the code number on your lock and they should send you a key, but it will cost you.

If you don't have the info, just take to a wheels place and they will tend to charge you $2-3 a wheel to get the locks off, thats if they are the easy kind to take off.

most auto places will have a "key" that they can put over the complete lug nut that will bite into the lug nut on the outside and unscrew it, but then you need to buy a new set of lugs

Ever see them remove one???

They cut a notch in the lock and use the old fashioned hammer method!

happened to me w/ mcguard locks. Didn't have a # for the key. They told me to take a piece of styrofoam and press it against the wheel lock to get the indentation of the hole. Sent it to them and had the a replacement in a few days.
