Default Wheel lock key - help

Does anyone here can sell or lend me a wheel lock key? I lost mine (had it last year, mught drove away with it still attached) and I only need the key to take the lock bolts off (ordered the replacement lug bolts, no more locking bolts).
I took a picture of my key and the number on the key (my gess from the picture) is ABC P14090.
I also took the picture of my lock pattern.

I would really appreciate if anybody here can help me to remove these lock bolts off my car.

The nearest dealer should have all the different wheel locks. I had the same issue and they handed me the proper key and I had the regular bolts installed five minutes later. I do not like wheel locks!

If you have any 12-pt thin walled sockets just find the one that almost fits over the lug. Lightly mallet it on and you will have it off in 2 minutes. It’s gotten to the point that the only challenge is to tap it on light enough that I do t throw away the thin wall socket because I can pop out the lug I just removed with a couple taps of a hammer.

Managed to get 12pt socket pounded to the front locks. It would not fit the socket to the rear wheels as lock bolts are recessed in more than the front due to wheel offset.

Laphan,

I just dropped in at the dealer and asked if they had the wheel lock keys. They brought out a box with about 50 different keys. Since you already have the key #, you might be able to call and purchase one to be mailed to you.

Good Luck and Stay Well
