Wheel locks question...

I bought my car used from an Acura dealership and it came with wheel locks. The problem is, they didn't provide a key...or so it seems to me. I am a noob when it comes to this and I've looked online and in the manual about what the different pieces in my trunk are.

These are the locks:



And this is the rest of the stuff I found in my trunk:



There are three total of those lug nuts in the package (one I placed outside). And no key (which I figure would go in the middle of the package?). I also saw those two things which are to the left in my trunk. I think one of them is a bolt extension for when you place the wheel back into the trunk...at least, that is what I gathered from the manual.

So what is the other part?

I can't find anything that looks like the wheel lock keys I've seen on the internet while researching this. I'm stumped. Did the dealership just forget to give me the key? If so, that irritates me....what can I do?

Thanks in advance.

If just purchased, take it back and have them remove the locks as they have a one tool fits all, or a master if you will.. Once off, have them give you the new locks that will come with the key.

They should be able to give you a wheel lock key. Don't pay for it, if they ask you to.

Just in case, check the glove compartment.

Yeah check with the dealer. They should just replace it with a standard lug nut.

FYI, you really don't even need a lock key, those come off so easy there almost pointless.

Thanks folks. I actually bought it in August...nothing in the glove compartment. I'll call them and see what's what.
