I had the same problem, the dealer didn't supply the keys with the locks. I went back to the dealer because they have a MASTER set but believe it or not, nothing worked. I ended up taking the car to a tire dealer and they FORCIBLY removed the old locks. I purchased new locks and where all good.

You can remove wheel locks by buying a cheap socket (Made in China) that is about the same size as the wheel lock. Pound it on over the wheel lock and then remove with a ratchet. I have had the same thing happen to me.

Here's one quick story....a friend of mine broke his lock "key" socket (for lack of better word) while trying to change a tire(yes, at night) and was SOL (**** out of luck).As most of us do, he only had the one he got from the dealer...the second he told me his story Ireordered one for about$14.00. That's some cheap insurance against a "heart attack" while trying to something as simple as changing a tire...
