lost my key for my rim's lug nuts
well i lost it and cant get the wheel off with out it. the pattern in the key looked similar to the key for the foxbodys stock lug nuts. any suggestions on how i can get my wheels off or on how to order a new key would be greatly appreciated. they are for 18"cobra r's

If you still have the box that the lock set came in you can call up the company who made it and get another key from them. If you don't, go to your mechanic and have him cut those locks off and get a new set.

heh i just delt with tihs problem. Dig EVERY wher in your trunk. look at the crow bar. If you luck out like i did ther is a little envelope that says McGuard and a phone number on it. Give them a call and give them the number on a card. 10 bucks and 7-10 days later.. problem solved. if not then a grinder would do it.. just be damn careful of the threads.

Well, what I had to do is get some of those Stripped Bolt head removers...
Got a hammer and banged it on there nice and good.
Got my breaker bar and twisted those suckers off, if you do go this route DO NOT GET NEW ONES
Why bother, you may just lose the key again
So I'm back to just normal lugnuts

Ask OB... lol... I actually just did this yesterday when a SC 00 GT came in, i'll post more about it in Off topic. But anyways, the guy bought it from Texas. Brought it up here and wanted me to put new rims and tires on. No key... not even in the FORD master kit. Every FORD dealer "should" have one. lol. Was an after market company. SO i tried the striped bolt socket... didnt work. lol. So i ended up grinding a notch in them and then using an air chizzle. It sucked bad. Im sure it would be even worse if you have Cobra R's without any room to do anytihng with!! lol. good luck. Take OB's advise and DONT get locking lugs ever again!
