HELP! Locking lug nut....
I can't find my key for the factory locking lugnut.
Is there anyway to get it off without it? Can I get them anywhere other than a dealer? Does anyone live in the Dayton, OH area that might let me use theirs?? 1998 gs spyder

No, you won't be able to get it off without damaging it. I lost mine once, and then found it the next day.
 The dealer should be able to provide you with another I would think, just show them proof of ownership.

Probably, but it beats the alternative of paying for a new wheel.

Re: HELP! Locking lug nut....
New key from the dealer was 8 dollars if I remember correctly. Maybe 11. Shit, I forget. I have a bad habit of leaving the key on the last lug nut I tighten and drving away, so I've gone through half a dozen of them.
You can also force a strategically sized socket over it but good luck seperating them. Most tire/wheel shops have special sockets just for removing these things too.

Thanks everyone!
I called the dealer and they said it would be like $30 so I didn't want to even deal with them if at all possible. I saw on the mitsu parts site that a whole set of wheel locks would be $20+shipping. Thankfully I work with a girl who drives a GT3000 and her key worked! I'll post pics of my rims soon. 1998 spyder gs

$30??? WTF is that shit. Seriously, even for a fuckin dealer. It's 3 ounces of metal with a design in it. Probably cost about $2 to make. I would have just walked over to one of the service techs, passed him $5, and that would be that. Done deal.
