A dealership close to where we are had the tires and wheels taken off 30 cars and trucks. The tires/wheels were put into a large trailer and pulled by a pickup. When we bought our Jeep in Rapid City this last July we looked at he Jeeps during the weekend before when we came into to dealership the salesman said we saw you on the lot during the weekend on their security camera, he went on to say they lost the tires/wheels off of two Rubicons later in the night. So it does happen when the cost of tires and wheels are $1000 and up wheel locks might stop the quick grab. ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒΕ | |||

May sound silly but did you check with the jack and lug wrench?? We bought our Sienna and I needed to pull a wheel. Called the dealer and they said check there. Sure enough the key was there in a little pouch. ———————————————— The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have.

If they are factory the dealership has them. I paid $35 for one for my Lexus. | |||

This. This was how I got every lock off when I worked in/owned a tire store. | |||

I was shocked at how easy it was to do when I lost my key. Took longer to get the tools out then remove the lock. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn.

I had locking lug nuts on an old restored Chevy pickup with American mag wheels. I was frequently alternating between those wheels and the original rallye type wheels, after so many changes, the key slots were getting wallowed out. After seeing hiw hard it was to take them off after getting worn, I took them off. Figured one night, I would hAve a flat tire, God knows where, and raining, and wouldn't be able to change it. 美しい犬 | |||

Take it to the Toyota dealer and have tires rotated and leave the locking lug off. Mechanics have the right one, (maybe a master). When my Toyota was new and they rotated tires, I told them key was in the trunk. They said they didn't need it as there are only so many combinations and mechanics had them all. | |||

| Thank you Very little  |
look in the vehicle paperwork, you should have a locking key card with the code and a contact number, they will mail you a replacement for your vehicle. either that or contact a dealer, rotating the tires isn't a dire emergency as a flat so you have time. I've had wire wheels taken off a vehicle when parked in a parking lot at night, wasn't a bad area, but like most cities, bad people don't stay home to rob their neighbors. | |||

I’m pretty sure they got them all by not putting them back in customer’s vehicles.  | |||

Call Mcgard, most likely that's what's on the vehicle. Their plant is across the street from my office. McGard | |||
