$20-$40 and you should be out the door from a tire place. Of course you will need to get new lug bolts most likely but that's cheap & easy to do at home.

What he said any tire shop should be able to do it. They usually have replacement security bolts for sale as well. Or if you really want to do it yourself you can buy a kit that can be used. But easiest would be a tire place.

Hello Johnny,

What kit? That will be my plan B after visiting the tire places.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.com/CASOMAN-Pieces-Removal-Locking-Removing/dp/B08R9BFFSG/ref=asc_df_B08R9BFFSG/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=475741847238&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=1378843311496717907&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9031988&hvtargid=pla-1187096752264&psc=1

Im sure you can find cheaper kits but its basically something like this that can be used to remove security locks. This may not have the one you need but in general they have kits for all sorts of locks. Another possibility you could do if you know who you got these from and see if they have a key they can send you? Just a thought

Now the question is....is it really worth putting security locks on when you know others can have something like this and break them off if they really really want the wheels! lol

Got the new lug bolts at the dealer today when I thought the key was a Porsche key.
(The parts guy did say he will take it off for free and I was ready to tip him $$$. )
The lug bolts are the most expensive parts from the dealer I bought, ever! LOL.

I will be visiting tire places in the town now.... sigh...
