Default No good lousy wheel lock key!

Hi everyone, well ive got my 2002 coupe and had it for about 3 weeks, its Mag. Red with polished aluminum 5 spoke wheels...which have wheel locks so no one can steal them, and so no owner can remove them when they have a nail in their left rear tire. Does anyone know if i can get a hold of this wheel lock key somehow? Thanks for any help

Tired of seeing, "LR tire pressure" on my DIC
---Chris

Discount Tire permanently "unlocked" my locking lugnuts for $5 per wheel.

When the car was new, among the paperwork there was a small (about 2" by 2") sticker that has a code number on it - with that code, and the address on the sticker, you can get a new key for your locking lugnuts.

Did you look between the left and center compartments in the cargo area? There's a slot for it there.

Just a thought.

My car had the card with the locks and I have kept it in a safe place. Hopefully you can find your key number and order a new one. Otherwise, the dealer can probably get it off for you.
