craftsman makes a set of what I call "lug breakers" that will basically fit ANY lug or lock... go to your local SEARS and they will help you out...

Hey SilverII,

When I took delivery of my "x", the numbnut dealer forgot/displaced my wheel lock key. A long story...

I called McGard. You can find their number on the net. I spoke with a Customer Service person. She was very helpful. They have records of which car dealers or shops that they have sold a master key-set to in your area. You can then hook up with one of these places.

For me, I took a bunch of closeup digital pictures of the lock with the key pattern as clear as possible. I e-mailed them to the CS person. She, to my joy, matched it up and mailed me a key for ten bucks.

I was starting to lose sleep worrying that the locks may have to be chiseled off or something. Anyway, hope this helps you out.
