SEATTLE: Rays volk wheel key needed ASAP
 
1 Attachment(s)
Blew out a tire on my rays volk and never got a wheel lock key for the wheels when I bought the car so I have no way to change it. Tow truck said it's too low to get under without destroying the car. Does anyone have a 7 sided wheel key that would fit the lug in North Seattle or the surrounding area?

Dealerships have a master set for what it's worth. I know it's probably not possible to get there with a flat, but thought I'd let you know. It is possible to get those off without having a key. Check out You Tube for a video on how to do it. Downside, it would pretty much destroy your lock.

I've bought two sets of locks off of a seller on eBay in case you want to replace them. $26.95 shipped.

Thanks for the advise, there isn't a dealer around that I could get to. Do you know which locks they require so I can Atleast look at the price of them or possibly buy a replacement key lock. My car is sitting in a parking lot right now, not in the best of places and I can't leave there too much longer. I know how to break the lug but I would really prefer not to do that.

Get it up onto a flatbed maybe? Use blocks and wood.

I tried that, waited for 3.5 hours for two different flatbed drivers to come out and say that they could not get under it because it was too low due to the flat and would destroy my bumper.

They are McGard locks.

I can actually hook you up with a set of locks. Through screw ups on my part, I bought new ones. Then I found my card to order another key. I have the four locks and would have to order the key.

Do you locks match these? Sorry they are a little dingy looking in the picture but they are black in color does any key work for these locks?

Do you have OEM wheels?

And they make universal sockets to take out weird shaped bolts, you can buy them at Sears. I think they're called alligator something

I was wondering the same thing.
If they are stock wheels, those Rays locks aren't your best best anyway because of the conical seat.

This happen at home? Is the damage to severe it won't hold air temporarily?

Honestly I'd just break off the lock since you'll need to buy a set anyway.

The time and effort in avoiding it is not worth it to me. imo

Yeah it happened about 4 miles from home and I'm pretty sure the damage is too severe to drive, not holding any air. Cant get it to the house because its too low to get onto the tow truck, or else i would just buy the replacement key and wait. But now its to the point where I cannot leave it there any longer.
