i cant seem to find the key for the wheel lock for the factory bolts...does anyone know if they are different for every car?? thats not possible right?? can i borrow someones??

what are my options???

thanks

 

they are all the diff. but there is a car w/ a # that came w/ the wheel locks, just send it to McGard and they'll send you a new key for like $15

if not you can always hammer it out

 

wat do you mean there is a car with a number?? number code for the wheels locks?? where is this number???

thanks

 

I lost my mcguard key once too. I took a 3/4" 12 point socket and hammered it onto the lock lug. It takes some swinging, but it will go on. It needs to go on a 1/4-1/2", then tray and turn the lug loose. It worked for me on all four. I'd advise that you put sonr rags or somthing around your rim where you are swinging the hammer so you dont miss and damage your wheel. Good luch.

 

might use that one as a lost resort thing...

thanks for the advice tho..

this is torture...i just got my wheels today and i get install them cuz my dumb brain doesnt remember where i placed the key....

 

If its the factory lock, the dealer can take it off with the master key. I lost mine and i had the dealer take off for free because i purchase the lock from them. The lock was was 30.00 and it took like 10 mins plus you would get a new set of lock and a new key.

 

only 30??? i called the stealership and they said 250 for a set of locks + service??? did they quote me on something else?? dumb***es

 

I lost my lug nuts too and the dealer took it off for me and put a new set on.
It cost me $20 for taking it off and $30 for the new set.

 

thanks everyone...i went to the dealer as well...they did everything for 65...herd chamber of boston is such a rip off...i cant believe they charged me 45 for the lug nuts...anyways..im just glad i got ones i can remove...finally i can put my rims on tonight...heheh...pics will be posted on another thread hehe

 

glad that you got that taken care off because i was in that situation about a week ago. Hopefully they didn't charge you for the labor because they should've done that as a courtesy.

 

unfortunately they charged me 20 bucks for the labor...service is great there..but the price is just way too high
