I had this happen a few years ago. I called the manufacturer and talked to them about making another key for me. I had to take a foam coffee cup and get the indentation of the pattern. I then faxed it to them and they made me 3 new key for when i lost the new one. This may still work for you...

Find a deep socket thats just big enough to be wedged over the wheel lock and hammer it on. You'
l most likely loose use of the socket forever.

I'm assuming you didn't put the sticker in the trunk and glove box then huh?

As above, the lock sets come with a code which is usually a sticker. You can then order replacement parts with that code.

drive to your dealership.
they usually have an icecream tin full of all the different keys, because people always forget to give the dealership the key when they are having work done etc.

Then you can just take them off, and put a new set on and this time dont lose your key

I lost mine, took a 12 point 1/2 inch drive socket that bairly didn't fit the lock, smacked it on and used a rachet to take them off. Socket didn't get hurt, extension didn't get hurt, wheels didn't get hurt, but when I missed that once with the hammer and smacked the **** out of my hand.....yeah, THAT HURT!
