Default Rays Wheel Lock Key

Any chance I can borrow anyone’s key? or can direct me to a local place I can pick one up?

Thanks in advance,
AG

Ugggh, been there done that.

Can't direct you specifically to a local but you can get 'em on EBay or probably at a local shop that sells Ray's lug nuts and/or wheels.

Example:

https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fro...t+key&_sacat=0

You do have to know which one you need by identifying your lug nuts and seeing which one fits. There's at least three different key types. Something like #27, #37, #47, etc. Don't recall how I figured it out but there's charts out there that show you the configuration of the keyway (slot) on the lug; corresponding to the proper key.

EDIT: Found the pics I used to identify my lugs... Viewed from top (outside):


Keyway to the left.


Keyway centered.


Keyway to the right.

Oh, then there's the "socket type" (male key, female lug) for the GT-C "special lug nuts". (Also on the EBay page I linked.)

Thanks for the informative post. I think I’ll try to find a #37 online as that’s what I can remember from the top of my head. Car is in the shop, but they were a set of the short/black ones.

If that's the best you can recall "from the top of my head", you'll want to verify exactly which key # you need. Nothing worse than ordering, waiting and finding you bought the wrong key lock.

I removed a set like those today lol.

I lost the key to my girls heptagon lugs as well. Theyre not rays, but replicas. I hammered a 21mm socket on to the lock and it came right off like butter.
You can do that if worst comes to worst.

I did the same last week 😂😂 my girl has fake Rays lug nuts and we lost the key. 21mm removed them like nothing. I was able to remove the lug and reuse the same 21mm to remove all locks.
