OE lug nut lock key???
I recently purchased my 2002 Z and did not get a lug nut lock key for the OE wheels. How can I get a replacement key? Is there a lock key number somewhere I should look for? I was digging through the owners manual/case, and found two small pieces of paper with numbers/letters on them. Would someone mind sending me a pic of their key lock number so I can see if what you have is one of the papers I have??? I'm needing to pull the wheels off and really don't want to destroy 4 sockets doing so.
TIA

Are you sure you need a lug nut lock key? When I bought my car I couldn't find it either. Turned out that the previous owner had put in chrome wheels with regular lug nuts.

Did you look all around in the back trunk area ... there was supposed to be a special place back there to store the lug nut key.
From the Owner's Manual:
Using the Wheel Lock Key
If you have a Z06, the wheel lock key sits in a small
depression in the trunk rail on the left side, underneath
the carpeting.

I found the same bag in my trunk with 4 regular lug nuts, however the white card with the key code is missing:mad I called Amcor and spoke with a rep. She said I have to take a super high res pic and email it to them, they will blow the pic up, and hopefully be able to identify the lock spline pattern. Errrrrrrrrr!!!

I must admit though, Amcor has been super helpful in trying to id the lock and provide me the correct key. If worse comes to worse, I'll jam a deep socket on there with a BFH, and get them off that way.
