It defeat the purpose of having a wheel lock if you can easily unlock that without the key. I guess your best bet is to re-order your key.

I've lost my wheel lock before, and a local wheel/tire shop had a special tool to get them off. They didnt even damage the wheels.

Those with aftermarket wheels - Doesn't this scare the hell out of you? What's to prevent a crook from getting one of those tools? Ya I know, if a thief wants your car bad enough, they'll find a way... But damn we make it way too easy for them.

I talked to my dealer about the wheel locks. He said they have a master key.

Yeah, even more so considering the SuperCrystal lugs don't come in locking...
