Lost my wheel lock key, need help
Can anyone help me with this?
I've been told the dealers have a set of master wheel lock keys, but they hold them pretty close to the vest.

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.

It cost me $20 for taking it off and $30 for the new set.

Living life thru chemistry..........or did you look in
the glovebox for the key?

I went to the dealer, and they told me I could order locks by quoting the number on the package that came with my original locks. Since I couldn't find the package and didn't want to wait a week for the new locks to come in, I just had them remove the locks from my car with a master, and bought new ones.
I wont lose thes new ones!

Terry,
I will call my buddy that has a tire shop and see if he can help out.
Would you be willing to travel to Whittier?
I lost my lock when I ended up with a HUGE BULGE on my tire's sidewall and I got raped by Big-O tires, they charged me $100 to take the lugs off. claiming they would have to break all the lugs(aftermarket lugs that require a lock) I had no choice but to accept this since I was far from home and in need of a tire.
I walked by the bay when they took my car just to find the guy using a universal lock to remove the lugs. I felt RAPED but couldn't say ****. the guy ended up-leaving the lock near my car and it "ACCIDENTLY" ended up coming home with me.

Thanks, but Whittier is a little far.
It'll be easier to pay a wheel shop to blow them off.

I called South Bay Infiniti, told them my problem and they said they'ld remove the locks for free. For now I'll just replace them with nuts and wait to see if the lock key turns up.
Thanks for all the help guys!
