HELP! I lost my lock for my rims!
I lost like the key or the other lug piece which is my lock for all my rims pictured below. I was wondering if you guys have any idea where I can get another lock or if there is any other possible way to remove my rims. Please, I really need this. Any help is welcomed. Thank you so much!
ps - I did not buy the lock. It came with the car when I purchased it.

The universal tool pictured in TunerN00b's post can be used to remove the locks.
Most Honda and Acura dealers also have a master set of keys for Honda/McGard wheel locks (which I think is what you have).

My car had a card in the glove box with a phone number and another number on it for the wheel locks. When I lost my key for them, I called the company that made them, gave them the number and they sent me a new wheel lock.
Looks like an oem lock nut, drop by your local Honda dealer, they should be able to help. If it's not an oem lock nut, a local wheel/rim shop might be able to remove them.
Good luck!

Isn't a picture worth a thousand words?
Eh, who am I kidding? I'm lazy, and searching google for a copy and paste picture took less time and key presses than typing something out.
These work as well. Its a "damaged lug nut remover", but works on locks as well (especially those 7 sided ones that offer no real protection).

McGard/Honda make a lot of different keys for their locks, and they all look sort of like that, but you have to have the right one to fit. You can give yours a try, but he'll have to be lucky if your key happens to fit his locks. (That's why many Honda/Acura dealers have a master set of all the keys; it's not just one key.)

the dealer has the master set. its 10 different keys. i work at the dealer, and am sure if you dropped by there one day and just asked, or even pull around by the entrance to the shop (if its like my shop, there's probably someone out there smoking) and tell the you'll give them a couple bucks to remove them for you. i know my guys would, but i dont know about in your area. but if you want to keep the locks, the parts counterperson can bring the master set out and find the right key, and order it for you. either way. good luck
but hey, how did you even get those on. looks like you should have used a tuner style lug or something. looks like your going to have to modify the key to get it in there.

dude, that thing is cramped in the hole...i'm wondering if you could even fit the key around it!?
but anyway, if you wanna do it urself, you can buy a wheel lock removal set, comes in three impact sockets 2 types on each one>>> so basically 3 flip sockets....get a 1/2" short extension stick it in the socket line it up and hammer it onto the wheel lock so that it grips it, and if you have a impact gun, gun it off or if not grab a breaker bar and bust it loose.
i've done a lot, and i mean a lot of um at my work....
so hope this helps all

They are not going to be able to break that lock out with any of those wheel lock removal tools unless you don't care that they damage your wheel in the process. There is not enough room between the lock and the lughole to fit it.
It is a Mcguard tuner stylelock. If you gon't have the key or the serial number to order another one. You will most likely have to have it drilled out...

we've used this technique before... it works...... huge flat head, and a hammer, turn... you do the math... the flathead must allow the use of extra torque such as a socket at the end or something.
