+1 to that. And do them all, not just one per wheel. My buddies civic had security locks on his car, but one per wheel. He lost the key, it was not as bad as I thought to get only one per wheel off, but I couldnt imagine doing all 20.

And having 5 sets of keys? How would that work?

It does surprise me though that the companies don't sell all 20 as a set though. More money, right?

No, no Mosc. All 20 I have fit the same key (sorry about that). I guess that kind of defeas the puprose though. I foundout today that a coworker bought an 06, has the stock wheels with the wheel locks (one per wheel). But my wheel lock (from a different company and manufacturer) does/will work on his.

Any good tire and wheel place should be able to find a key to a wheel lock lug. There's a good one near me and that's all they do. Sell aftermarket wheels, stock wheels, and tires. I went there one time to buy a set of key lock lugs. I noticed in the corner that they had a ton of lug keys on a keychain just in case a customer drops off a car and doesn't give them the lug key. So, there is always a way to circumvent the system.

According to mcgard, their locks have thousands of different key patterns, So i doubt anyone will have the exact key. Those are the locks i use.
