Goto a dealership and they will make a model of what you have and mail it in. Dealerships have a universal key so you can get your tires off if need be. When I lost mine I just went to the dealership, took the lug nuts off with their universal and bought regular lug nuts.

How much money did does it cost to have them made. And you barrowed a universal key? Did they let you use it real quick and then put on 4 regular lug nuts?

I forget how much it costs to have one made, but it was cheaper for me to buy 4 new lug nuts. I figure if someone wants my rims, they are going to take them no matter what.

I drove to a dealership where some TCStang people work and I pulled the car into the garage. I wasn't allowed to take the universal key home, but they let me use it in front of them. Yes, after I removed the locks I installed regular lug nuts, torqued them down to 100 ft/lbs and called it a day.

Actually this so called TCStang person did all the work removing and installing the lug nuts. I just watched, but he would of let me do it if I wanted too.

I see. Without knowing this TCStang person this may become tricky.......

slo50h works at the same place that helped me out. At least I think he still works there.

If you don't mind damaging the locking lugs (and potentially a socket), if they are McGard (Ford stock things), pound a 12 point 19/32 socket on them and simply turn them off.

I did this with a set when Abra stole my key several years ago. Worked perfectly.
