Newby here with new to me 2011 Grand Sport. It has 2 different styles of locking lug nuts and no key for either. (Yes lucky me) so I am looking for replament keys. I think I have one style figured out but one style requires a square key with a "hollow" center and style has me stiomped. Does anybody recognize the brand name of this style from the attached pic? Much oblgied.

Hammer a 12 point socket on there and send it. Replace with a new set of nuts. They also make sockets that are for lock nuts with lost keys. I’d also bet discount tire would zip them off and sell you a new set of lock nuts for a reasonable price.
Just something to consider. Locking lugnuts only slow amateurs down. I lost the key to mine. It took about 2 minutes to figure out the correct sized socket to tap onto the locking lugnut to enable me to pull it off. I used the opportunity to buy a set of black Gorilla lugnuts to match all of the black on my Centennial, at a cost way less than messing with a new key or a new locking set.
Even knowing the brand probably won't help getting them off, unless you have the key code or registration that comes in the package with the nuts. Might dig around your glove box for a piece of paper or sticker with replacement code (see below what Gorilla includes). Or a tire shop can easily remove those.
Yep, just go to a tire shop, they will have a set of theses,
And can remove the locks in a matter of seconds.
The just have them install the normal lug nuts.
Hence, even with the rims being Gumbys, no one will be looking to steel just the wheels in the first place.
The second, or more important first, don't leave the vet out side over night in the first place.Garage it when not driving it.
Hence problem is not so much someone trying to steel it over all, but some low life that will damage/ destroy the car to begin with instead.
Locking Lug nut identification?
