wheel lock key Sign In

I just recently purchased a 1987 Chrysler Lebaron from a used car dealership. I took my new vehicle into an auto shop the other day for an inspection and I was asked for a wheel lock key so the breaks could be inspected. I had no idea what this was and didn’t have one. The auto shop could not locate one within the car either. I have been all over town looking for this key and I have gone to several tire specialists, none of which were able to help me out. I’ve searched EBAY and Craig’s List, none of which had this key. I even went back to the used car dealership and they didn’t have it either. I am at the end of my rope and I have no idea what to do. I am a little concerned because if I get a flat tire or if my breaks go out, I won’t be doing so well. I was wondering if you have this key or if you could point me in the right direction?

Thank you for your time and help!

LOL, the above message is what I was sending to dealerships and auto mechanics. I just copied and pasted. I'm not asking any of you if you have the key, but if any of you have any suggestions or ideas. Thanks

At least Snap-On makes a kit to remove about any of those locks (the wheel lug nuts that are custom) and can be done faster than with the key! Just get them all off and get regular lug nuts as I doubt theft of those wheels is a hot item any more. I take them off my own cars just because they are a pain in the butt and any thief would have the kit. Try a motor club like AAA as they must deal with this all the time if your regular shops don't have this kit,

i always beat a socket that just barely fits the lock nice and real tight then crank them off and get rid of them
