Ouch, that sux, I would just call up the company and order another key for the lugs, sometimes the key are covered under warranty.

The lug set should have come with some sort of contact information. Their should be information on the key as well so you can order a replacement. I know this is at least true with McGard.

When I lost the one that came with my Maxima, I called the manufacturer (I think it was McGard, can't remember) and they asked for my postal code, then they gave me a list of dealers in the area that had a "master kit". When I went to the Nissan dealer with the kit (not the dealer I bought my car from, but in a neighbouring city) I left the car with them for 1/2 an hour and they took the lugs off for free. I didn't even buy the replacements from them as my normal dealer always gave me great discounts on anything I bought from them.

I've never heard of the lugs that the OP has, but maybe, with some luck he can get the same sort of service.

Truplay8, how did you get the lug off your car to send to Gorilla? Or did you have an extra? Would suck if you had a flat and needed to wait.

Another suggestion to the OP, is to call a wrecking yard - they may have a safe way of removing all your locking lugs.

I suggest you try Google. I just did and came up with many places that sell those.
