Jimmy at Street Performance

When i was getting my suspension installed he took them out like 2secs...

[Chen]

Cool.. Thanks.. Let me call Jimmy then.

Jimmy is backed up and probably won't have time. Why don't you do the smart thing and go buy another wheel lock key...

[Thrizzl3]

dealers have universal keys. try them to see if they can remove it for you.

[JaYson]

I did the same thing. the Dealer (MoT) took care of it for me.

[09ms3]

do you care about keeping the wheel locks?

worst case take a socket that is slightly to small to put over, hammer it on and back it out with the socket wrench...

when I had to do this to mine (bought the car and the wheel key was never provided)

Buy a nut and weld it to the wheel lock. Then take it off with a tire iron.

Because everyone has a welder just lying around at home...

Ya post a pic. If you have oem the dealer can help you.
If you have aftermarket you'll probably need a big hammer and a small socket.

Buy one at CT, use it, tell them it didnt work, return SUCCESS

While I agree that could work. It's about 10x more work than him posting a pic of the lock to start and then buying a new key. And it saves him from having to buy a whole new set of locknuts too

I agree.

Also it sounds pretty easy to bypass a lock for someone who really wants to steal your wheels. Or I could be mistaken

if its oem, get your hands on another oem key. i have a '06 3 and my dads key from his '04 6 works on mine

[silverstarmazda]

get a socket slightly smaller than the nut then


onto the nut, then use a breaker bar and twist it off

[Jeff-TheBiz]

I have a key in my desk.. if it is OEM there are 8 different designs if I recall correctly..

so 1 in 8 that it works..

lemme know.

[n00bMeiSter]

All "lock" nuts can be by passed with either an aligator socket or by simply going out and buying the key for that set of locks. The point is that if some dude just randomly tries to steal your wheels, he'll get 4 lugs off but not be able to get the last and hopefully he'll give up and f*ck off lol

always watching out for people with 4 bolt patterns lol
