I have a 2006 Sport GT, bought new in 2006.

What should I do, I cant seem to find the key and the original wheel nuts? Maybe they never gave me ?

You should have gotten them. Usually they get put in the glovebox so they don't get separated from the car they belong too. Maybe with the jack or the spare?

In anycase, you should have gotten a card with the code to order a new set. Otherwise, you'll have to use a drill and an extractor to remove them...

theres the simplest way by going to the dealer and asking them to pull out the master key set to kindly remove them. the drill removal method may possibly damage your rims

You search the whole car including near the spare tire? Maybe they keep the w/l keys at their shop.

i have a question and thats the one dealer will ask you if you go back for the key: why you ask for key after few years after you got the car?

UPDATE:

I spoke with the sales manager at Markham, he offered to give me a another set of wheel locks with the key. I needed my winter wheels removed anyway, so I took the car to Markham, when they changed my wheels back to all seasons (changing wheels cost $24.99). while they did that, they took out my wheel locks without key and put in the new set that the sales manager gave me. They did have a master key to remove the old wheel locks. Very nice guy at Markham to help me out even though it was 2 years ago.

To answer RX9's question: The Mazda 3 was our family's 2nd new car since we came to Canada (the first one was a Chevrolet...). I didnt even know what wheel locks were 2 years ago, I just assumed that everything I need was in the trunk with the spare tire.

you don't need a master key to remove the locking nuts. when I worked at an auto repair shop I had several tools in my box that would easily remove these things. any big auto shop will have them.

Dealer asked me if I have a key for lock nuts, and i said no, then they told me they are not sure if they can do anyting about it. So i asked them dont you guys have master key. And the guy says yeah I suppose we can do that... like wtf!!! Anways I was going to say you need to either have that locking key otherwise if you get stuck in the middle of nowhere with a flat tire, you wouldnt be able to change the tire without a key..

really and what tools would those be? I know of only 2 methods but they could potentially damage the rims. Also the rims that i remove and instal on a daily basis have deep holes requiring the key to go in

What does the 3 lock nut key look like? I'm not sure I got mine either.
