Try your local Discount Tire. They sell and deal with Gorilla brand lugs and should have keys for you to buy for like $4.

call gorilla and give them the number on the sticker that you should have kept

change the lugs to different ones/get locks and then sell the gorilla ones w/ key outside the state (just so the person who buys em cant get ripped off)

if u can't get a copy of the original lock key than take a 19mm 12 point 1/2 inch socket and hammer it on, then use a impact gun and try and torque it off. it may take a while and u might go through a few sockets but its better than getting your wheels taken. buy craftsman sockets, lifetime warranty.

it all depends on the shape of the locks, this works on stock locks, i don't know if it would work on the tuner locks though. hope that helps.

take a socket that is just alil to small for the lug then take a hammer and pound it onto the lug. the take a rachet long one or use a breaker bar and apply smooth force to it. work like a charm

PS i know this because my friend works at ATC and i lost the key for my honda lugs
