Default Rays Formula Lug Replacement Key

I've ran into a huge problem. I have the Rays Formula Lug Nut Set that comes with the internal drive Heptagon Key. Well long story short, the key has now been stripped and allows me to tighten the lug nuts but only to certain extent. Has anyone ever purchased a replacement key for these lugs... if so from where?

Vendors that are reading this... can you guys get me a replacement key?


I've looked on Rays website and they have nothing. I cant imagine they wouldn't produce Replacement keys otherwise I'm screwed.

I'm pretty sure there is only 1 style of locking key. well at least for my Rays lugs it works with other rays lugs...
Do you have the key that is like a regular key, but with the little bump on the inside on one side?

Actually it's a Heptagon Key and it's Internal Driven. So it's not a socket. The key goes in the inside of the lug to tighten up the lug. I just stumbled upon a thread (I swore I've searched endless amount of times) that a person also needed a replacement and could be ordered through the vendor. Just hoping one of the vendors here can get it for me asap. Reading down the thread a Rep from RAYS responded and said that there is a replacement key that can be ordered so now I can relax a little more.

Yeah I saw his thread... He got it from Ryan at Forged. I'm actually working with him to get me a set. I'm gonna get two just to have one as a spare since apparently there's no such tool that has 7 sides (Heptagon). I've looked all over the place for something that I could use and found nothing. Made me feel kinda safe since I know it can't be replicated but sucks when you're looking for a fix.
