Wheel Lock Kit Question
Hey guys,
I took my Mustang GT for the first oil change to a Ford dealer and they weren't able to rotate tires because they couldn't take the wheels off, according to their report they couldn't find the wheel lock key. I purchased this car as used and have not received anything else but the manual with it, and I don't know how can I tell if a wheel locks are present andwhere can I get a replacement key for it. Thanks for your help.

You have aftermarket rims? I know that may be a dumb question, but I don't know what wheel options are available for all mustangs and if they have wheel locks as an option. But if they are after market a place like discount tire may have something you can use, I lost the key for my wheels once and bought one they had that worked for $20. Best bet is to try there or a large wheel shop in your area.

My 89 GT had the factory wheel locks for the turbine rims
with hubcap centers. The loocking lugs are slender with a bulbus
head that requires a key that goes around the head. The big head
is used to lock down the plastic hubcap. I would think ford
would have it.

Wow, no one at the dealer had a wheel lock remover kit. Find another shop. That's unheard of. They can also be taken off carefully using an air chisel. (I have removed many using both methods.) Then buy a new set of locks that will come w/ a key. I bet a tire shop will have a kit to remove them.

Thanks guys,
The wheels are stock, no mods of any kind have been done yet. I was surprised too when I saw that they couldn't take the wheels off, I would imagine that a Ford dealer would already have a solution in case someone has lost their wheel lock key. Finding another shop is probably the best idea. I will also check out if local America's Tire shop has wheel lock key that they can sell to me.
