This is the one you have to worry about:

If your wheel lock is gone Call McGard. Talk to a rep. They will have to take a pic of a wheel lock,match it up with a key and ship it you. I doubt a dealership will sell you a key for $15 as I paid more then that directly from McGard for mine.

Do yourself a favor and ditch the wheel locks as they are a nuisance. Do a search and read the horror stories about what happens when one breaks. I'd borrow the one from the dealer and remove the lock bolts; replace with normal bolts.

If someone wants your wheels that bad, they'll get them anyway...that's what insurance is for.

If you need them off bad enough you can remove them at the cost of 1 socket/wheel. I had a shop get a socket that almost fit the bolt and hammer it on enough to remove it to fit snuggly on the bolt and then they were able to remove it. Cost $25 in the long run for a used bolt and socket but I needed the car back a.s.a.p. so I didn't care.

I went to the dealership and they had one cost me about $30 not too bad i can live with that and now i have a brand new wheel lock and i can take the wheels off to do a damn spark plug change haha.
