A local lock smith will be able to help you. It will surprise you how fast they will be able to pick them.

If it's the OEM lock, it isn't too strong. Get a screwdriver, insert and twist! It will pop off.
Then go get real locks if you want (I don't bother).

yeah those lock smiths make short work of most locks. Had an ignition key cylinder problem with one of my cars. Locksmith had the old cylinder out and the replacement built to my current key so I didn't even have to replace my key. He was there and gone & $100 richer in about 10 minutes.

I hate wheel locks. The seem to always cause headaches. Strip, key snaps off, etc... I never use them any more. A thief has the jamb socket any way.

Any dealer can get them off for you.

Still have D90s? Don't worry about it then. Wheel thieves know what they're looking for, and that ain't it. Get the locks off and keep them off.
