Your probably gonna need to buy a new set, unless you want to borrow one from someone here or the dealer everytime. It's gonna be a hassle to do unless you have your own one.

Holy crap! I live in RC at Day Creek and Foothill for the last year until a few weeks ago. Sorry though, I have aftermarket rims.

There's an easy way to fix this... Grab a socket that just fits around the lock.. maybe a 20MM or 22MM depending on your lock size and shape..
Get one that fits.. Use a big 3 pound mallot hammer.
Pound it on the wheel lock
It's recommended you use an air gun because it makes it very easy to zip off.
If not use a long pry bar and gradually build pressure to loosen. If all goes well they will come off... Now here's the kicker..
To get the wheel lock off the socket.. You will need to lock the socket in a vice of some sort. Use a punch and the same mallot.. You run the punch in the middle of the socket and use the mallot and hit it hard. VERY HARD. It will drop out of the socket and you get to do it 3 more times.. Enjoy!

take it to the dealer, they will break it off and replace the set for you since it is an OEM accessory that should be covered under the factory warranty.

This is OT, but you really live and Rancho Cucamonga? That wasn't a made up place from the movie "Next Friday"? That's awesome!
Mail man: "Nice house, I didn't expect to see you answer, but nice house...are you one of those entertainers or something?"
Craig: "Yeah, I play for the Cucamonga Cracka Killas..."
Ok...sorry, back to the topic...
Try the stealership, a friend of mine was able to buy a Toyota wheel look wrench at the stealership after leaving his on the side of the road. I'd have to imagine Acura would do it too. Give them a ring or stop by, it's the only way you'll ever know...

Bro, trust me.. Get a socket, hit it on with a hammer and take them off yourself. Nobody is really out to steal stock rims. Just my 2 cents.
