Default Project Kics Lug Help

Ok so basically I have Project Kics R40. They are the extended lug type. Those that have these are familiar that they come with 20 lug nuts, a black socket, and a silver wheel lock. This past weekend I had somebody help neroli my fenders and I can't find the silver lock key anywhere. I would like to think he didn't take it because it won't do him any good so it's probably my stupid mistake of misplacing it.

Does anybody know if I can buy a silver lock key seperately? Or have a number that I can call to contact Project Kics directly? I googled and couldn't find any places that sell them seperately and I can't find a company website.
Any help is appreciated

Call a distributor that deals with them and see what they say. I'd give Vivid Racing a shout. vividracing.com

Well I talked to them and the person I talked to said he was going to contact their distributor.
Got the call back and they said they cannot sell just the lock separately.
So Im going to search everywhere one more time and if I don't find my lock, vivid said they could try and help me out a little on the price which is very nice of them because my issue has nothing to do with them.
Thanks for the suggestion Blue

Amazing link! Thank you! But is there any label or anything on my locking lug nuts that would indicate which lock I need? Id much rather spend $28 than $140

Sounds like you are only looking for the socket for the locking nut right? If so then buying another set from that link will not help. I have those r40s with the close ends. The color for all the lug nuts are the same but the socket is black for the regular nuts and the one for the locking nut is silver. They do not make the locking nuts all the same else anybody with a set can take out the wheels. For example if you lose your oem lock socket a nissan dealer has a set of about 10 different ones which they use to test and find you your correct size. If project kicks does not have that option then I might rethink using mine

Yea I am only looking for the silver lock key. At the bottom of that link they have 5 different lock keys that are $28 each. Are you saying they wont work?

Oh l did not see that. One of them should work. Difficult to guess which one so you end up buying all and only need one.

There is a place here in northridge, socal that sells them. There are about 5 different keys, unless you know the number that is on the key it's going to be hard to get a hold of.
I personally went to this place And tried out the keys when this happened to me, btw they are about 30 each.

Well i will probably call the company and see if I can buy all 5 and return the 4 I don't need.
I do have my original box of the lug nuts and there is a sticker on the back that says RC13N-R40. That leads me to think I need lock key #13 but that could just be a coincidence

I don"t think so. I just checked my original box and my key. My box has a sticker with number but on the key itself is a number different from that
The number on the key is the key nymber

Do you know which lock key you needed for your locks?
I talked tot he website and they said I can return any of the locks that don't fit but there is a 20% restocking fee. So i figured I would try the keys one at a times and hope I get lucky haha
