cant find lock nut
So I can't find my lock nut bolt. Which means I can't undo my wheels.
Thought purchasing a new set of lock nuts and key would be the same as the old one but no luck.
What to do now guys ?

I think the dealers have a "master" key for the locking lugs. When I first got my car I couldn't find the key and then I looked in the ashtray and there it was. I took the locking lugs off and put them away and replaced them with with plain old lugs. They were more trouble than they were worth. My car is rarely parked in questionable locations.

I misplaced mine and ended up calling McGard, the wheel lock maker. They had me take a bunch of picts of the wheel lock and email it to them. They took the photos and found the best 2 matches and shipped them to me. One worked, one didn't so I sent the one that didn't back to them for a refund.
They were great to work with. Here's a link:

Thee are 36 different sockets, numbered 001 to 036, these are the last 3 digits on the code card you get with the locks, do you have that card somewhere? Dealer can then order it, dealers will have the box set of 36 keys, 10 minutes with these will find the correct one!

go straight to the dealer......
OR
I dont have a dealer in my country so i had to forge one from scratch.
I took a mold of what was on the car and had it fabricated by a machine shop.
