No... If you can't find the key, you can try a special socket that conforms to the size of lugs... them sell them at Sears. Seen them a few days ago.

when i bought my Z brand new, it came with the lug nut locks... I lost my key one time, but i left it on my tire when i was putting it back on, and i found it down the road from my house. i called before i found it, and they said, the key like the one you pictured, has 100 different codes. Meaning, nearly 1 out of 100 keys would match the pattern that your key has for your lug nuts. You can buy another lug nut lock set, or key like that, but it's not a guarentee it will fit.

This isn't 100% though...

I was just sharing what i heard from king windward, when i lost my lug nut key. I guess after this post, we will find out if i'm right or not... shoots...

If you can't get that lock off a lot of wheel shops use the one size smaller socket method in which they hammer a socket that's smaller than the diameter of the lock to catch. After that they can turn it with an impact.

you can take off the lock with a gator grip, which you can buy at walmart.

You were ripped off.

If the locks came with the car when it was originally purchased, they were probably put on by the dealer. If this is the case, dealer will usually have a master set of keys for the wheel locks. They can match one of the keys to your lock, and order a replacement key for around $10 - $15.

yeah, they make an adaptor that will go over the whole lug, and when you turn it, it will bite into the lug. had to do this once too.
