If you are talking about Honda/Acura locks, the dealers have access to the key. I personally had problems wheel locks in the past - broken key - and when I bought my TL, the dealer explained that they have the key for the locks they installed on my car. In fact, all Honda / Acura are able to service your car without using your key. Based on this info, I'm sure you could get another one from them.

Once, i broke my oem wheel lock key. they have a master set I believe at the dealer, so they can remove your locks for sure, I think my dealer did it for free. Now, im not too sure if they will be able to sell you the key, so you might need to buy a new set.

haha bro looks like im not the only one missing one now.. i remember you asked me about that when we met up ..... i had my tires changed when i first got the car from a small tire shop. they got them off without my wheel lock key, so im sure it will be pretty easy to replace.

The Acura OEM wheel locks are easy to remove without a key. I believe a 7/8 12 point socket can be hammered onto the wheel lock and then removed with a ratchet or breaker bar.

Then - go buy a better wheel lock set like those gorilla ones.

I lost my key as well. Bought a new set from dealer and they removed the lug nuts for me and installed the new set.
