Wheel Lock Key Issues
I lost my wheel lock key about 6 months ago. I sent in the wheel lock id card to Amcor with money requesting another key...that was 4 months ago. I haven't heard anything back from them, and there is no phone number or email address to get in contact with them. Does anyone have any contact info for Amcor, or know of how I can get another key quickly (my tires need to be replaced very soon). Thanks

Try going back to the dealer , if thats where ya got them. Otherwise check with your tire installer. They might be able to circumvent the lost key and get he locks off without any damage to the wheels.
Good Luck.

Can't help you with Amcor. After four months, you're probably NOT going to hear from Amcor and you do need to get those locking lugs off the car so that, if you have a problem in the middle of nowhere, you can get the tire off if necessary.
I just went through this with my Gorilla locking lugnuts. Lost the key and couldn't find the code to order a new key.
Went to my local National Tire & Battery (NTB) and their tire guy had the 4 locking lugs off in under 5 minutes. And he didn't damage my Z06 chromies!
Call some of your local tire installers, Goodyear, Firestone, NTB, etc. These guys see this type of problem all the time and should have someone there that can remove those locking lugs.

Did they cash your check? If so, send them another letter and tell them to send you the locks - NOW. Otherwise, the advice to go to a tire store and see if they can get them off will work. I had it done once and they did not do any damage to the wheels. Good luck.
