I was able to rotate the passenger side tires today but couldn't do the drivers side due to a stubborn factory wheel lock. WHen I was using the crossbar on the wheel lock key the key slipped off the wheel lock and sort of stripped it. So now when I try to loosen the wheel lock, the key doesn't want to bite and keeps slipping. WHat to do? If I buy another set of wheel locks will the patterns be different or the same?

 

No, it will not be the same key. There should be a white card that came with the wheel lock set. Use that to get you a new key that is the same as your current one. It will cost about 11 bucks to get the new key. Or you can take it to your dealer and they should have a master set to get the "stubborn one" off. And then either buy a new set, or get regular lug nuts.

 

Is there an aftermarket wheel lock set for our cars? A brand like Gorilla?
