Lost wheel lock keys

I have lost the key to the locks on my wheels on a 93 vette. Does anyone know if the key can be derived from vin number and remade?? If not, any suggestions are welcome------thanks

I don't know if the key can be replaced, but if you have to remove the lug nuts be careful, the rims mark rather easily.

Find a socket that is slighty smaller and hammer it on. then use a impact gun to remove.

This has worked for me-very easy.

Drive it to your GM dealer or a good tire store. They probably have a key to unlock it.

When I bought my Vette the lug nut key was not with the car. I went to the Chevy dealer and they told me I should have a card with the numerical key on it. I had the card, but would have had to order the key at a price of about $50. I took the car to a tire dealer. He had a special socket that buzzed all four off in about two minutes, and he didn't charge me a penny.
