Locking wheel lugs. Help!

Post by jsmithgt500 »

So I managed to lose the Lug Key while trying on the new wheels... I am assuming these were factory lugs. Anyone know where I can get a key? I would hate to damaged these or the wheel getting it off. Thanks

Check the spare tire area, they generally leave the wheel lock attached to the lug wrench vanilla envelope.

I lost my lock a few years back, took it to the dealer and they had a master set and took off the locks. It's worth a try.

At least look for the card that gives the code for what wheel lock you have, it will say mcgard on it. May make the process a little easier to find one.

Looks like mcgaurd locks, your for dealer should be able to get it off without damage and order a new key.
