You can get another lock from the dealer. I think (someone please correct if mistaken) that there are only like 4 different variations anyway.

WOW i hate my dealer than. i went there today and asked them about it and they told me that there is like 12 dif. options and if i dont have a "card" from the wheels locks they are going to have to DRILL them out and there is no and they "might" damage the wheel as well as the stud........ the thing that sucks is that this is the only mitsu dealer in my area.....

The wheel locks are made by McGard and you should've gotten the original packaging if the wheel locks were originally installed by your dealer. In the packaging, there is a registration card with the key code of the wheel lock key. Yes, there are 12 or more different lock patterns for the Mitsubishi vehicles. Each dealer should have a set of master keys in a box. Too late now, but you could've gone to a different dealer and they would've taken them off with their master set.

I went to the dealer hoping thats what they were going to do for me. I bought the car used so all i had was the wheel lock and thats all. The dealer told me that the company that sells the keys and wheel locks does not sell the keys to the dealer only to the customer. The nearest Mitsu dealer is about and hour and a half away i belive.
