Long story short I lost the key and currently have the pathetic spare on the truck while my newly patched tire is sitting in the bed.....anyone know how to get a new one?

 

Just a long shot here but maybe you should ask your dealer

 

no way really?!?! Dealers close early on Fridays

 

Just weld a nut to it so you can remove it and then throw them away.

Or go to sears and buy a set of these. ANyone who actually wanted to steal your wheels would already have a set.

Thanks I appreciate it! Now I relieze those keys just make people feel secure, but in reality do close to nothing in stopping someone from taking your rims if they really want them

 

FWIW, when i bought my new rims & tires I switched to fluted lugnuts... each lugnut needs the socket that matches the flutes so it's like every lugnut is a locking one. It won't stop someone with the lugnut removal sockets, but it will sure take a lot longer having to remove all the lugnuts with this tool than just 4!

 

Cordless impact and a locknut remover I could have all 20 off in under 2 minutes, but if they make you feel secure just make sure you don't loose the key

 

Then I'm glad you don't live in New York...

 

New York??? lol

 

Tow truck and I'll take the whole dam truck.
