Default Lost wheel lock! HELP!

Well, I bought my 99 stang this summer. Well it is winter now and I needed some new snow tires. I went to Belle tire and I realized that I had wheel locks and did not have the key. How do I get them off? Well I called the guy who I bought it from and he told me it was a Gorilla lock. Is there anywhere I can get a master key? Murray's, Autozone, Pepboys? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Any shop can impact them off.....I had to do that once.

Then just go buy some new ones for like $20

Ford should have the key that you need to get it off. But impacting is a way to get the old ones off without a key.

You better try and find the key from ford or where ever before you take it to a shop..sometimes they use a impact hammer and chisle it off..and it scrapes the hell outta your rim..

take it to a shop, they should have a special extractor tool. call around first and make sure they have it, its like the new bolt extractors that "grip" the outside of the locking lug.

did you look in the trunk? because the stock wheel lock key is located with the spair tire. if that is lost then use a impact.
