Lost Key McGard Wheel locks?

Unfortunatley I lost my key for a set of McGard wheel locks (Under Hub Cap style lock) on my 18" factory rims and I'm wondering has this ever happen to anyone?

I heard tire shops might be able to airblow/pry them out, however I'm worried my rims may be damaged.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks!

Do you have the code so that you can get a replacement from McGuard if you are not in a hurry?

You should have registered your lock set. They would have a replacement for you in no time.

go to your dealership or any infiniti dealership. they have a master set for stuff like this. and you can buy a new set while your there. no need to risk damaging your rims trying to pry them off.

When McGard was here they said the best way to obtain a key, if you lost or didn't send in the code, is to contact them. Sometimes they can cut a new key with a very high res pic of the lock face. Better way they said is to send them an imprint of the pattern via styrofoam coffee cup or putty. Finally, making a rubbing of the lock surface works sometimes as well.
