Wheel lock missing!

Karod · 09-30-2009, 06:26 PM

Well I went to go get my rims put on today...sadly I left the shop without anything on because we couldn't find the lock to unlock the wheels. I'm sure I can get one from the dealer but I just needed to talk about it cause Im full of grief and sorrow right now. We searched the whole car for it though. Any idea where it usually is? Or do they just not come with the car?

In the trunk with the little tools, I think there's a spot meant for it. Mine wasn't in the car when I got it either (used). I had the same exact thing happen to me, trying to get the new wheels mounted at the shop...leaving unhappy.

The dealership had a big master key set. They just figure out which one is yours (out of like 20-30 different ones), and get it for ya. Good luck, I know it sucks.
