I would go to a dealer. I know the GM dealers have a whole tray of the wheel locks. They just start pulling them out until they find the right one... and then they charge you $50 to order it.

I despise the factory wheel lock bolts; got rid of them off all my Porsche cars as soon as I purchased them.

I don't leave my cars where I fear the wheels will be stolen; they're more likely to take the entire car, than just the wheels.

I also agree to check with the dealer; easiest solution as they have a big tray of all the different ones.

Try your local NAPA store, they sell tools( tapered socket) to remove any locking wheel lug.
