Default Any ideas how to get a wheel lock off without a key?

Lost my wheel lock key and am trying to figure a way to get it off without going to the dealer and paying 53 bucks to get them put on.

Mosts mechanics have a universal key for when you do not have your key. Or try a local tire place to see if they have one.

Whats the point of wheel locks if they make universal keys... they may as well make a universal car key too....

*takes universal car key, walks up to a Model T Ford, cranks it up.... gets out, walks over to a Acura NSX, drives off* eh.... im bored.

Just go to somewhere like napa, checker, etc and order a mcgard lug key thats specific to your pattern. i work at a dealership and if someone needs to use a key I take a CC / DL while they use it and have them return it within the hour. Although I'm sure some stealerships charge for it
