Do It Now!
Just a reminder to everyone who has wheel locks to make sure you have the manufacturer and part number in a safe place in case you loose your key adapter. 
I was going to check my brake pad wear and I was unable to find mine. I was fortunate that I knew the manufacturer (McGard) and I was able to get a replacement by e-mailing them a digital photo of the locking lug nut. They compared and matched it to their stock. It only cost $14.99 including shipping. Not bad at all.
It could have been a real pain in the a$$ if I had needed to change a tire or wheel in an emergency.

Good advice. I keep the little card that came with the locks in my car maintenance folder just in case.

Sounds like your wheel locks did their job!...by keeping YOU from taking your wheels off. Do yourself a favor and replace them with regular lugs because they are NO hindrance to anyone who wants to steal your wheels.
