I just recently purchased a 1987 Chrysler Lebaron from a used car dealership. I took my new vehicle into an auto shop the other day for an inspection and I was asked for a wheel lock key so the breaks could be inspected. I had no idea what this was and didn’t have one. The auto shop could not locate one within the car either. I have been all over town looking for this key and I have gone to several tire specialists, none of which were able to help me out. I’ve searched EBAY and Craig’s List, none of which had this key. I even went back to the used car dealership and they didn’t have it either. I am at the end of my rope and I have no idea what to do. I was wondering if any of you could point me in the right direction or have any ideas?

I can't understand how a tyre shop couldn't help you?
Simply chisel the lock nut off the stud, or hammer a slightly small socket over the but, and twist off.
A picture of the lock nut would be a good start, I may be able to assist more.

Joe: I was turned away by several tire specialists stating they could not or would not help me out. One auto mechanic told me he could break my wheels off. I would like to find a better solution if at all possible before I do that though. I have tried to research out what type of brand they are. The closest match I found was Gorilla or White Knight, my lock is very simular looking to those brands but I was unable to find an exact match online. I might be able to convince my friend to let me borrow his digital so I can take pictures of them. Give me a day or two.
