Shucks!! Lost wheel locks key....

I lost my wheel lock key and all my wheels have Acura wheel locks. Is there any way out?
Are all keys the same, maybe I could find one on ebay....you think?

just take a socket that is just a little bit too small for the bolt and hit it with a hammer it will hold good enough to turn it. if you really need to get them off

I just went through this with one of my other cars, I got it back from the stereo shop with a BIG screw in the tire and no key (it was in the compartment in the door under the armrest). I took it to the dealer and they a)matched up the key b)removed the lock on the "screwed" tire c)put a temp non locking bolt on in it's place d)ordered me a new key. I was kind of amazed that I got the key in 3 days, I've accused them beore of throwing away special parts orders, I had to order touch up paint 3 times from them and still never got it.

im wondering, is there no use in getting wheel locks as it seems from you guys its easy to take off without a key? and im sure thieves have an easier simpler way..

I have this kit.

It works great to remove almost any bolt.

Any Honda/Acura dealer have a key for your car. It's THAT simple. They have this program for people like you who lost their key. Once the problem solved - and no scratches all over the wheels - you can buy a new one.

If I recall, there's only like 5 different keys. Dealer has a master kit and can tell you which lock you have and reorder. They're just McGuard locks I think.

Took mine off. IF they want "em its a fairly simple matter to SNAP the entire treaded lug right off. I know I (unintentionally) have snapped a few in my day with rusty cars and youthful enthusiasm. NOT COOL! If you ever have to change a tire - in the rain - on the side of a highway - in the dark LATE and dressed wayyy too pretty, you'll be cursing those locking lugs BIGTIME.

I meant for any bolt or nut silly.

It's just a handy tool kit to have.

Also suppose he got a flat and is stuck on the side of the road.

Acura has the master set. They are color coded. Find out which color lock you need and call McGard and order one.

$10 + shipping.
