Haven't been this disappointed in a long time

My_third_Z · 09-10-2011, 09:02 PM

After waiting for the past 10 weeks for my rims to come in, they were finally delivered last week. I loaded up the rims in a friend's car and we headed to the tire place to have them mounted. As I'm pulling out the adapter piece for the tuner lug nuts, I realize I can't find the key for the locking lug nuts on the currently mounted wheels. I searched the entire car to no avail. I know I had it last week when ClemsonWill and I installed my springs, but I must have lost it since then.
Anyway, after searching the car I had to turn around and go back home. No rims installed.

Can anyone help me identify the key that will fit these? I bought the car with them already installed, so I don't know the make or model.

Looks like a standard McGard wheel lock.

At work if I don't have a lock I pound a 12 point socket on it and it comes right off,plus the chrome socket doesn't damage the customers locks.

So your the one that goes around steeling wheels?

Check the document holder that contains your manual. The dealer might have left the paperwork that identifies the specific pattern in it. With that you can simply order a replacement from McGard.

The problem is I bought the car used with aftermarket wheels on it already. There was no information on them. I'll search the mcgard page.
