The Wheel Key/Lock Just Snapped...

I have a set of Racing Hart RS-721s for my 04 G35 and I was putting them back on after clearning and the flower-shaped tube key snapped as I was putting the 3rd one back on. Is there any way I can order a new bolt and key set from a parts store or retailer because as far as I've looked so far Dazz doesnt sell the bolt and key kit separately =( Maybe there is a shop or service out there for this kind of problem??

I can put my spare back on to drive wherever but currently its on jacks while im trying to figure out what to do. Any information would be greatly appriciated thanks.

buy a new set of locks then go to any auto store/sears and get a nut extractor,nut cracker, 1 of the 2 names cant remember and u can take the currents off. faster then getting a new key made and wait the what 3weeks?

I was told use the cracker as a last LAST resort because it will probably damage my wheel in the process.

A couple shops who suggested calling my key's retailer said that it might be a universal key or at least something I can re-order from them.

not sure what u broke. Was it the key or the locked bolt that broke? I want to say it's the key but not what else u can do except drill it out. If u have an extra lock bolt, u can send that into the manufacture and maybe they can send the right key back to u. Also were u using a tq wrench when u were doing this bc the max force I used was 100 ft lbs for each lug.
