OEM 19 Wheel Lock Key

Well I have to purchase new tires and found that I cannot find my wheel lock key for the OEM 19's.
Somehow it was stolen or lost, anyway...
Does anyone know where to buy just the wheel lock key without having to buy it from the stealership for $88.
And thats just for the wheel lock & 4 lugs.

If I was in So.Cali. I would let you borrow mine. So I would assume someone could let you borrow theirs.

Or go to the dealership and ask if you could just get their help on allowing them to use a OEM wheel lock (which I'm certain the shop there has to have one available being it's OEM) to remove only that one lock per wheel. Then just drive with 4 lugs per wheel in the meantime or put a spare in the 5th lug to replace the lock while you do what you have to do.

I bought the OEM wheel lock set from the dealership in order to get the wheels off but I'm returning it.
$88 is just too much.
Now I need to replace the OEM wheel locks with aftermarket ones that are more affordable.
Anyone know of any good sets that aren't too cheap (in quality) but won't break the bank?

Not all locks/keys are the same.

+1 on Mcgard wheel locks. I have them and have no complaints. I have the kit that requires 2 keys for each wheel to remove the lugs/lock.

i faced the exact same problem - the car was ready for tire change and the wheels wouldnt come off. I went to the dealership and asked them to remove it coz I wanted to hit the road and did not want to get stuck with a flat tire etc. Anyhow, they removed the lock and put in a nut.

When I had the OEM wheels, I had lost the wheel lock. My local dealership replaced all the wheel locks and gave me a new key for free.

Damn, thats awesome.
That seems to be a rare occurence for a dealership to be so helpful and for no charge on top of that.
I definetly haven't experienced that.
All my experiences with the Glendale stealership have been poor.
What dealership was it?
I might take my business elswhere.

If its not far away, try Miller Infiniti and speak to John. He's the one who did this for me. I can't really say if its a great dealer or not since i haven't had anything major done there. But they haven't given me any problems for any small warranty claims I have done there.
