Well, I'm going for a brake job next tuesday and I cant seem to find the key for my wheel locks. I'm guessing that Honda wont be able to take them off because I got them from the same place I bought my tires/rims. How screwed am I? :uhoh:

you'll have to tap them and back them out, tire shops charge about $100 to do this.

I did the same thing one time and a friend of mine that works at a automotive repair shop had a tool that just got hammered on and then used a rachet to take it off. He says that many shops have them and usually will do it for free or cheap.

Alright, thanks for the help. I called the place today where I bought my rims/tires from, and the number was out of service.. so I'm guessing they went out of business.

I guess I will have Honda remove the wheel locks when they do my brake job, and then I will purchase new wheel locks from Honda so I dont get screwed over again. Thanks for the responses.

I paid $7 a wheel for them to be busted out at a tire shop near Detroit back in June.. Not a bad price at all :)
