Wheel locks are not specific to the wheel, they are specific to the lugs.

So if I called varrstoen and gave em my wheel specs they couldn't replace the lock? I would think they give the same lugs/lock per style of wheel.

If the grooves look like this


then they're not really locks. just need that stupid "key" for it. Many companies make this style. they're just tuner lugs

Yes the grooves and "key" looked like that. I'll hit up a tire shop nearby and see if they have something that works since they're popular.

Most tire shops sell spares, dont let them rob you on price though. shouldnt cost too much. I think when I bought a replacement long time ago was a Chinatown "Tuner" shops that sells them for like 5 or 10 bucks.
