Lost my wheel lock key. :(

I was at Status having my Hotchkis sways put on and I was also gonna get some R40 Neochrome lugs and we couldn't find the wheel lock key for my stock wheel locks. I have no idea where the stupid thing is. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I can do??

Yeah Calvin! That was a worthless post. I'll talk to Rick and see what he can do.

Rookie-That's the problem, I don't have the info card. My wheel lock key was attached to my jack with a zip tie when I bought the car so I have absolutely no info.

Anyone else?

Hey Hexxum.. I think I recall someone having the same problem? Try to see if you could ask the dealer you got your vehicle from if you could give them your vin # and they might be able to get you another one? I could be wrong.. but I think that's what someone said to do. Good luck with that yo

If you goto the Infiniti dealer they can take off your locks. You can also buy a new set of lugs and key. The same thing happened to me.

I lost my oem wheel key a few weeks ago. Look for the original packaging and there is info to reorder a new key. McGard was really helpful as long as you have the key info.
well in that case...

here you go hexx

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!
